Why You’ll Love It:
These rich, chocolate-dipped truffles are hiding a secret: they’re made with coffee cake! 😍 Each bite combines cozy, cinnamon-swirled cake with deep cocoa flavor, wrapped in glossy dark chocolate and finished with colorful white chocolate drizzles. Fancy enough for gifting, easy enough for a weekend treat!
🍰 What You’ll Need:
-
8 Hostess Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cakes
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
2 tbsp Ghirardelli cocoa powder
-
12 oz dark chocolate chips
-
4 oz white chocolate chips
-
Natural food coloring (for drizzle)
👩🍳 How to Make It:
1️⃣ Crumble the Coffee Cakes
Break up the coffee cakes into chunks and pulse in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.
(No processor? Just use your hands—it’s therapeutic!)
2️⃣ Mix & Roll
In a large bowl, combine the coffee cake crumbs, softened cream cheese, and cocoa powder.
Mix until fully combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Dip in Chocolate
Melt the dark chocolate chips until smooth (use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts).
Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
Place back on the tray.
Drizzle for Glam
Melt the white chocolate chips and divide into small bowls.
Add a few drops of different natural food coloring to each for a rainbow effect.
Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle over the chocolate truffles while the coating is still wet.
Chill & Serve
Refrigerate the tray until truffles are fully set—about 1 hour.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week (if they last that long!).
Tips & Twists:
-
Swap dark chocolate for milk or semi-sweet chocolate
-
Add espresso powder to the filling for more coffee flavor
-
Sprinkle with edible gold dust or colored sugar for party vibes!
