Instructions
Steps
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggnog, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and nutmeg to the cream cheese. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Melt half of the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly before adding to the mixture.
- Stir the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to roll the mixture into small balls, placing them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for an additional 15–30 minutes.
- If needed, reheat the remaining melted chocolate. Dip each truffle in the chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
- While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg and flaky sea salt on top.
- Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or in the fridge until hardened.
Notes
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
