Quick and easy peppermint cream cheese truffles that deliver festive flavor and are perfect for holiday gifting.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 24 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies
  • 1/4 cup festive sprinkles (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon peppermint extract

Instructions

  1. Melt white chocolate gently, either in a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Add peppermint extract to the cream cheese and beat until combined.
  4. Gradually add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll.
  6. Once firm, scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls.
  7. Roll the truffles in crushed peppermint candies or festive sprinkles, if desired.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese for quicker mixing and to avoid lumps. For faster chilling, flatten the mixture in a shallow pan.
