Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (or 1 cup store-bought vanilla buttercream)
- 12 oz semisweet or white chocolate for coating
- 1 tsp peppermint extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (optional)
- Colored sprinkles or crushed peppermint for garnish
Instructions
- Crumble the cakes in a food processor or zip-top bag until fine crumbs form.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese (and butter if using) until smooth. Add peppermint or vanilla extract and mix.
- Fold cake crumbs into the cream cheese until uniform. Adjust consistency with more frosting or powdered sugar if needed.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until firm.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Dip chilled truffles in chocolate, tap to remove excess, and place back on parchment. Decorate with sprinkles immediately.
- Allow coating to harden at room temperature or chill briefly. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
These truffles can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator or frozen. Use tempered chocolate for a glossy finish.
