For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet. If the truffle mixture is too soft to handle, refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes. Get creative with your decorations! Try using sprinkles, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder.
Indulge in the luxurious allure of Sweet Sierra Truffles, a decadent confection infused with the essence of sweet red wine. These melt-in-your-mouth truffles are the perfect ending to any meal or a delightful treat for any occasion.
Melt semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. (Approximately 5-7 minutes) If you want to decorate with chocolate, reserve 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until soft and fluffy. (Approximately 2-3 minutes) Gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until completely incorporated. Stir in the melted chocolate and wine. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour, or until firm.
Shape the mixture into 3/4 inch balls and place on a baking tray lined with waxed paper.
Melt reserved chocolate chips in a small bowl in the microwave until you can stir it smooth.(Approximately 1-2 minutes) Use a fork to drizzle chocolate over the truffles for decoration.
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet. If the truffle mixture is too soft to handle, refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes. Get creative with your decorations! Try using sprinkles, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder.
