No-Bake Truffles

We love these sweet chocolate gems because they are so deceptively easy to make!

  • Perfect to make ahead for occasions and holidays.
  • Sub out any hard cookie to swap up the flavor.
  • Dip in dark, milk or white chocolate.
  • Decorate with sprinkles to match your occasion.

Ingredients and Variations

COOKIES Any hard cookie will work in this recipe. Milano cookies are a favorite because of the great flavor (and the chocolate of course). They come in a variety of flavors, so try mint or raspberry!

CREAM CHEESE Cream cheese helps bind these cookie balls (and adds a bit of richness). A pinch of powdered sugar balances the tang.

So easy.

Chocolate cookie truffles are so easy to make, but they taste fancy!

  • Pulse cookies in a food processor.

  • Add cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla, pulse until smooth.

  • Scoop out dough and roll into balls. Chill until set.

  • Dip each truffle in melted chocolate and chill.

Tips to Perfect This Recipe

  • Room temperature cream cheese is easier to blend in the food processor.
  • Ensure the truffles are well chilled before dipping.
  • Use a double boiler or melt chocolate on low in the microwave, be sure not to overheat it.
  • These truffles are lightly sweet with a bit of tanginess from the cream cheese. The powdered sugar can be increased to ½ cup total for a sweeter flavor.
  • Sprinkles can be changed to match the season or holiday but you could also leave them off or top with flaked sea salt.
  • If you don’t have melting wafers, you can use 2 cups of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.

How to Store

  • Truffles are a perfect make-ahead treat! Freeze undecorated truffles in a zippered bag for up to a year.
  • To decorate the tops, microwave the truffles just long enough to soften the tops so the decorations will stick.
  • Keep prepared truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator on a layer of paper towels to absorb moisture and they’ll keep about a week.
