Category: Truffles, bonbons and candies
Preparation time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
16 ounces white chocolate
4 ounces softened cream cheese
1/4 cup of powdered sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1-2 teaspoons rum
Assembly:
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cream cheese, nutmeg, powdered sugar and rum together.
Melt 8 ounces of white chocolate using a double boiler. You can also melt the chocolate in the microwave using a heat-safe bowl for 30 seconds per pulse. After each interval ,stir the chocolate for a while before popping it back in the microwave. Repeat the process until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese and blend until the ingredients are combined.
Place the bowl in the fridge and chill for 2 hours.
Take a cookie sheet and line it with wax paper.
Melt the rest of the white chocolate using the same method as above.
Check if the mixture is firm enough to be shaped and molded. If it is, remove the bowl from the fridge.
Using a spoon, scoop out small bits of the mixture and shape it into small balls.
Dip the ball into the melted chocolate. Roll it around to coat it thoroughly, before placing it on the cookie sheet.
Wait for the chocolate to set, and then store in your fridge to chill.
TIP: These white chocolates truffles taste exactly like eggnogs, more or less. If you're trying to stay away from alcohol, but love the kick that rum gives to chocolate treats, you can also use imitation rum extract. This white chocolate rum truffle recipe makes around a dozen truffles. White chocolate is perfect for this because of its subtle sweetness, but you can also use bittersweet chocolate if you don't like white chocolate.
