White Chocolate-Cheesecake Truffles

Be the first to rate & review!

So little effort, for such a big reward. These delectable truffles of white chocolate, with a hint of lemon and crushed butterscotch for crunch, go down a treat. I made these as gifts for Christmas, and everyone moaned with delight and said they tasted just like a cheesecake. Store truffles in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator if not serving immediately. They can also be frozen.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

  • 8 ounces butterscotch-flavored hard candy, crushed

  • ¾ cup sifted powdered sugar

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ¾ cups vanilla wafers, crushed

  • ¾ cup sliced almonds, chopped

Directions

  1. Place white chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. Pour butterscotch candy into chocolate and stir to combine. Add powdered sugar, sour cream, lemon zest, and salt; stir to combine. Stir in vanilla wafer crumbs. Let mixture chill in the refrigerator until firm, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Shape mixture into balls using a teaspoon-sized scoop. Roll balls in chopped almonds.
