Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. package Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese softened
  • 4 tablespoon butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 cups powdered confectioners sugar
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs approx 10 crackers
  • 2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips or coating for dipping
  • white chocolate red & green colored chocolate, sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter and vanilla.
  • Mix in graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar. I add the powdered sugar in 1/2 cup at a time until I reach desired consistency. 2 1/2 cups will give you a lighter & creamier filling - 3 1/2+ will give you a stiffer filling. I used 3 cups.
  • Cool in fridge for an hour or two.
  • After truffle center is firm enough to work with, scoop out tablespoon sized rounds and drop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. The cheesecake filling is sticky to work with, so I recommend using a cookie scoop.
  • Place cookie sheet with truffles in freezer. Allow to set up, about 2 hours.
  • Melt chocolate - either by short bursts in the microwave (30 seconds, stir, 30 seconds, stir - repeat until melted) or by the bain marie method.
  • Dip cheesecake centers into melted chocolate. I use two forks to dip, roll, shake and remove.
  • Place chocolate coated truffle back on cookie sheet. Repeat with remainder.
  • If decorating with candy sprinkles, do so before chocolate sets up. I dip and sprinkle each truffle one at a time.
  • Place chocolate covered truffles in fridge until chocolate has set. This doesn't take too long.
  • Set up your decorations, melt down white & colored chocolates.
  • Drizzle chocolates over truffles, or decorate how you prefer.
  • Place each truffle in a mini baking cup. These truffles must be refrigerated. Enjoy :)
