Step-by-Step Instructions for Eggnog Truffles
- Begin by chopping 8 oz of high-quality white chocolate into small pieces. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted white chocolate with 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg, 2 tbsp of eggnog, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix until well blended and creamy.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour, or until it firms up enough to be scooped.
- After the mixture has chilled, use a cookie scoop to portion out and roll into smooth balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- To set the truffles more firmly, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Melt the remaining 10 oz of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted and smooth, dip each truffle in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl.
- While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle each truffle with a pinch of ground nutmeg and flaky sea salt.
- Allow the coated truffles to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes
Ensure your cream cheese and eggnog are at room temperature for smooth mixing. Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
