posted on my kitchen cafe, she said that these so called cheater truffles are in a word: divine. Much easier and less fussy than traditional truffles, they are still true to rich chocolate flavor and a delightful creamy center.
from Coconut and Lime
Makes about 16 truffles (I doubled the recipe with great results)
1 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, slightly softened
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
cocoa to roll
In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar. Add melted chocolate. Beat until well combined. Let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (I found the mixture was too soft to roll right after beating the ingredients together). Using your fingers, roll the mixture into small balls (about 3/4-inch in diameter). Sprinkle about 1/3 cup of cocoa on a plate and gently roll the candy to coat. Place on a clean plate and serve. You can also wait a couple of hours and they will have a more solid texture (I chilled mine before serving).
