Truffles

8 oz. Cream Cheese

2 T. Unsweetened Cocoa powder

4 C. Confectioner’s sugar

2 C. Chopped Pecans

1 T. Almond Extract *

 

Mix together cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa. Add almond extract and mix to a creamy consistency. Add 1 cup chopped nuts, mix well. Set aside 1 cup nuts for rolling. Place mixture in refrigerator 4-6 hours. I prefer to place in freezer to harden faster. If making the balls the next day then leave mixture in refrigerator over night. Roll into 1 inch balls and then roll in chopped nuts. I place the chopped nuts in a baggie, add the ball and shake to coat. Makes 30 truffles. Enjoy!

 

* Vanilla extract, coconut extract, or rum extract can be used in place of Almond extract. Coconut and various nuts can be substituted for Pecan
