  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Easy no-bake peppermint cream cheese truffles with a chocolate coating and crushed peppermint candy topping. These festive treats are perfect for holidays or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (226g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups (225g) crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 24 cookies, cream removed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips (for drizzling, optional)
  • 1/3 cup (40g) crushed peppermint candies or candy canes

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Stir in peppermint extract.
  2. Fold in the crushed chocolate cookies until evenly combined.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1-inch balls and roll them smooth. Place truffles on the sheet. Freeze for 25-30 minutes until firm.
  4. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return to parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
  5. Optional: Melt white chocolate chips and drizzle over the truffles. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth truffle base.
  • Crush chocolate sandwich cookies finely for best texture.
  • Freeze the truffles until firm before coating to prevent them from falling apart.
  • If microwaving chocolate, use short intervals and stir to prevent burning.
  • Allow truffles to set completely before serving or storing.
