Little Dude and I still have plans to make sugar cookies and decorate them with royal frosting as well. He has been looking forward to it for months.

But I love to throw a few new things in each year. Cream cheese truffles have been on my mind for a while now, just waiting for a chance to be made.

Of course they would be great plain, but I thought a little bit of LorAnn Orange Emulsion in the filling would take them to the next level. Orange cheesecake bites with a chocolate shell!

frozen centers rolled into smooth balls.

The filling whips up easily, but I definitely recommend giving them plenty of time in the freezer. That will make the rolling and dipping process go a lot easier.

My husband also highly recommends eating them cold, even frozen. He liked them at room temperature as well, but not as much as when they were cold.

So jazz up your next party with delicious cheesecake truffles and feel free to experiment with different flavors. Then let me know what you’ve tried and loved!

Use a small cookie scoop to portion about 2 teaspoons at a time onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Place in freezer for at least an hour.
After freezing for a while, roll the scooped mounds of cheesecake filling between your hands to form rounded balls. Return to the freezer for at least another hour or two. Overnight would be fine.
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate until it is smooth. Dip the frozen cheesecake balls and place on wax paper to set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve.
