Ingredients
- 200 grams Low-fat white chocolate
- 85 grams Low-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 50 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (for rolling, optional)
- 4 tablespoons Finely crushed nuts or shredded coconut (optional for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Chop the low-fat white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Melt the white chocolate gently using a double boiler or in the microwave at 50% power, stirring every 15 to 20 seconds to prevent burning. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened low-fat cream cheese using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
Step 5
Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Step 7
Once chilled, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out portions of the mixture. Roll it into bite-sized balls using your hands.
Step 8
If desired, roll the truffles in unsweetened cocoa powder, finely crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for additional texture and flavor.
Step 9
Place the finished truffles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes to set.
Step 10
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve chilled and enjoy!
