Description
Delight your holiday gatherings with these festive Blue Christmas Truffles, a sweet treat that combines creamy goodness with a pop of color.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blue candy melts
- 1/4 cup white sprinkles
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers and powdered sugar. Mix well.
- Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and form a smooth dough.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the blue candy melts according to package instructions, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted blue candy, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out and let any excess candy drip off.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. While the candy coating is still wet, sprinkle with white sprinkles and crushed peppermint candies if desired.
- Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes until the coating hardens.
Notes
- For a festive twist, try using different colored candy melts to match your holiday theme.
- You can also add a teaspoon of almond extract for a unique flavor.
