Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 4 ounces brick-style cream cheese
- 2 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons eggnog
- 1 teaspoon rum
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand-held mixer until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add the confectioner’s sugar to the cream cheese and beat together until combined.
- Next, beat in the rum, cinnamon and nutmeg until just combined. Set aside.
- Now, place one cup of the white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Add the eggnog.
- Microwave in 30-second increments on half speed, stirring well between each increment. Do this until the white chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Transfer the white chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Beat until just combined. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
- Once completely chilled, remove the truffle mixture from the fridge and measure out one tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Place the ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until you have used up all of the mixture. Place the tray in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Place the remaining two cups of white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl along with the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments on half speed, stirring well between each increment. Do this until the white chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Working with chilled truffles one at a time, dip the truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off and back into the bowl. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with a sprinkling of nutmeg. Repeat until all truffles are coating in chocolate.
- Refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Transfer to food-safe container with lid. Keep refrigerated.
