Notes

• These cream cheese truffles need to be in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• You can also use dark chocolate or milk chocolate as a substitute for white chocolate in truffles.
• You need to chill the truffle mixture before and after you roll into balls to avoid sticking to your hands and to get a perfect round shape.
