These soft and creamy lemonade truffles are accented with a sweet raspberry white chocolate. Truly a unique dessert that will have you thinking summer as soon as you taste one!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 (8 oz.) bar of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (softened to room temp)
- 1 packet (0.23 oz.) of Kool-Aid Lemonade mix (unsweetened)
- 5 c. powdered sugar (plus a little extra to coat your hands as you work with dough)
- 1 bag (12oz) Wilton White Candy Melts
- 1/4 tsp. imitation raspberry flavoring
- Red and yellow food coloring (enough to get the color you desire)
DIRECTIONS:
- Cream together Philadelphia cream cheese and packet of lemonade.
- Add yellow food coloring to desired shade of yellow.
- Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, blending well between each one. After 4th cup, coat your hands in powdered sugar and mix in 5th cup with your hands until well blended.
- Using sugar-covered hands, roll dough into 1 inch truffle balls and set on parchment paper.
- Melt candy coating chips in microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between until smooth.
- Add raspberry flavoring and red food coloring (to desired color) and mix well.
- Spoon about 1/2 – 1 tsp. of chocolate onto parchment paper and then press a truffle on the top of it until the chocolate is visible around the edges. Finish the rest of the truffles this way.
- Spoon remaining chocolate into a ziplock bag and clip the corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the truffles.
- Allow topping to harden (about 5 minutes)
- Peel off parchment paper and serve at room temperature or chilled.
Makes about 30 truffles.
