Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Once chilled, scoop out tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into balls.
  • Place the truffle balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 15 minutes.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then return to the baking sheet.
  • Melt the white chocolate chips separately using the same method as the semi-sweet chocolate.
  • Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dipped truffles and immediately sprinkle with red and blue sprinkles.
  • Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

For a fun twist, try using different colored sprinkles for various occasions.
