Cheesecake Truffle Skewers

Preparation time 10 minutes

Total time: 2 hours 40 minutes

Ingredients

  1. 1 package (250 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
  2. 125 mL (½ cup) icing sugar
  3. 30 mL (2 tbsp.) vanilla instant pudding powder
  4. 15 mL (1 tbsp.) butter, at room temperature
  5. 2 mL (½ tsp.) vanilla extract
  6. 375 mL (1½ cups) assorted toppings such as graham cracker crumbs, sprinkles, shredded coconut, crushed nuts
  7. 12 wooden skewers

Directions

  1. Using an electric mixer (stand or hand-held) on medium speed, beat cream cheese, icing sugar, pudding powder, butter, and vanilla until smooth, about 3 minutes. Transfer batter to a cake pan or other dish and freeze for 2 hours.
  2. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out batter and use hands to roll into 2.5-cm (1-in.) diameter balls. Place cheesecake truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Spread each topping on a separate plate. Roll truffles in toppings to coat and return to sheet. Freeze another 30 minutes. 
  4. Thread two cheesecake truffles onto each skewer and freeze or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Chef's secret

If frozen, take out of the freezer a few minutes before serving.
