Ingredients

  • 2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 - 8 oz. packages reduced-fat cream cheese softened
  • 1 c. seedless raspberry jam
  • 2 tbsp. Chambord or raspberry liqueur
  • 2 c. vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 1 lb. chocolate almond bark or melting wafers

Instructions

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips at 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the melted chocolate chips, raspberry jam, and Chambord, beating until blended.
  • Add the vanilla wafer crumbs, mixing well.
  • Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop the truffle filling onto parchment-lined cookie sheets. You won't be able to roll them into balls, so just scoop the dough by spoonful or cookie scoop.
  • Freeze the truffle balls for at least 2-3 hours, or until basically frozen solid.
  • When they are firm enough to handle, gently roll the truffles until they are smooth.
  • Return them to the freezer.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate almond bark at 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  • Grab 3-4 truffles at a time, leaving the rest in the freezer. They thaw very quickly.
  • Using a fork or toothpick, dip the frozen truffle balls into the melted chocolate, and return them to the parchment paper to set.
  • Store in refrigerator. Enjoy!
