Ingredients
  • 8 ounce Cream cheese; softened
  • 3 cup Confectioner's sugar
  • 12 ounce Semisweet chocolate ; melted
  • 1 tablespoon Coffee-flavored liqueur
  • 1 tablespoon Orange-flavored liqueur
  • 1 tablespoon Almond-flavored liqueur
Directions
  1. 1
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. 2
    Gradually add the confectioner's sugar to the cream cheese, mixing well until fully incorporated and the mixture is fluffy.
  3. 3
    Stir in the melted semisweet chocolate until the mixture is uniform and glossy.
  4. 4
    Divide the chocolate mixture evenly into three separate bowls.
  5. 5
    Add the coffee-flavored liqueur to the first bowl, the orange-flavored liqueur to the second, and the almond-flavored liqueur to the third.
  6. 6
    Mix each bowl thoroughly to ensure the liqueur is evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
  7. 7
    Cover the bowls and refrigerate the mixtures for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
  8. 8
    Once chilled, scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
  9. 9
    Roll the truffles in your choice of coating: finely chopped nuts, additional confectioner's sugar, or cocoa powder.
  10. 10
    Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until ready to serve.
