Ingredients

Save

• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup mini chocolate chips
• ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
• Pinch of salt

Tools Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Hand mixer or stand mixer
• Spatula
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Cookie scoop or melon baller

Suggested Substitutions and Additions

• Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
• Substitute almond extract for a different flavor twist.
• Swap mini chocolate chips for crushed nuts or dried fruits.
• Use vegan cream cheese and butter for a plant-based option.
• Add a splash of milk if the texture is too thick.

How to Make

Step 1: Cream the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Using your mixer, beat them together until they’re creamy and smooth, for about two minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when you see no lumps and it looks light and fluffy!

Step 2: Mix in Dry Ingredients

Add the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt to the mixing bowl. Mix on low to combine gradually, so you don’t end up with a sugary explosion! Then, mix in the heat-treated flour (to eliminate any raw flour taste), making sure everything is well incorporated. You want a dough-like consistency that you can easily roll into balls.

Step 3: Add the Fun Stuff

Stir in the vanilla extract, mini chocolate chips, and rainbow sprinkles. Use a spatula to gently fold them into the mixture, letting those little bursts of color shine through. You’ll love how vibrant and cheerful the mixture looks!

Step 4: Chill the Mixture

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes. This helps firm it up so you can easily shape it into truffles. You’ll know it’s ready when you can scoop and roll it without it sticking to your hands too much.

Step 5: Roll into Truffles

Once chilled, take small portions of the mixture using a cookie scoop or melon baller. Roll them into balls using your hands. Create about 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6: Coat and Chill Again

If you’d like to coat your truffles in more sprinkles or chocolate, now is the time! Roll each truffle in more sprinkles or melted chocolate, if desired. Once coated, place them back in the fridge to set for another 30 minutes.

What to Serve with No Bake Cake Batter Cheesecake Truffles

These truffles are fabulous on their own, but they pair well with chilled desserts like vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Serve with a refreshing fruit salad or a warm cup of coffee for that contrast of flavors.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Prepare the dough the day before and allow it to chill overnight for even better flavors.
• To avoid the truffles becoming too sticky, work in small batches.
• If the truffles are falling apart, try placing them in the fridge for a few more minutes before rolling.
• Double the batch for parties or gift giving, they’re perfect for sharing!
• Use a cookie scoop for uniform size so they look as good as they taste!

Storage Instructions

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just let them thaw in the refrigerator before serving for the best texture.
