Description

Indulge in the alluring blend of creamy cheesecake and the spicy warmth of chai with these delightful truffles. These little bites offer a symphony of textures, from the smooth, rich interior to the satisfying snap of the dark chocolate shell. The heart of each truffle is a velvety cream cheese base, infused with the distinctive flavors of chai-spiced coffee.

The coffee not only provides a gentle bitterness but also enhances the aromatic spices, creating a truly captivating taste experience. Encasing this luscious center is a generous coating of decadent dark chocolate, adding a layer of intense cocoa notes that perfectly complement the creamy chai filling. These truffles are a wonderful treat to keep on hand, ready to satisfy your sweet cravings any time of day.

Enjoy them as an elegant dessert after a meal, or simply as a special pick-me-up during the afternoon. For an extra touch of sophistication, consider garnishing them with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamom, echoing the chai spices within. A single coffee bean also makes an attractive and fitting decoration.

Alternatively, create a simple swirl design in the wet chocolate before it sets for a touch of visual flair. If you notice any subtle white markings on the chocolate after it hardens, don't worry. This is a natural occurrence known as chocolate bloom, where the fats and oils separate due to temperature fluctuations.

It doesn't affect the taste or quality of the chocolate, so your truffles will still be delicious. Each bite is a small moment of pure indulgence, a harmonious balance of flavors and textures that will leave you feeling completely satisfied.

Instructions

    1.
    You ll need to brew coffee before you can make the truffle filling. Brew a full cup of coffee, and set 1 bag of chai tea per cup to steep for 5 minutes. After steeping, discard the teabag and set the coffee aside to cool. While you will only need a small amount of your chai coffee, you ll have to make enough to steep the teabag reasonably. You can choose to discard any remaining coffee or utilize the remainder at the end of the recipe.
    2.
    To make the truffle filling, blend cream cheese in a stand mixer until the cream cheese is soft and spreadable. You can leave the cream cheese out at room temperature for 15-20 minutes prior to making the recipe so it is softened. Once the cream cheese is aerated, add butter cut into pieces. Continue mixing until both the butter and cream cheese are blended together free of lumps. Mix in Swerve, salt, vanilla extract, and the listed amount of coffee until blended.
    3.
    Transfer the truffle filling to a smaller container, cover it, and set it in your freezer to chill. Chill the truffle filling for a minimum of 2 hours until the filling is thick enough to scoop like ice cream. This may take up to 4 or more hours, depending on your freezer and how much you re making. When the filling is firm enough, line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Scoop 1 TB of filling and roll it into a ball between your palms. Repeat until all the truffles are formed.
    4.
    Set the tray of truffles back in your freezer to chill overnight. Now, you want them completely frozen - 8 hours or more. The next day, you ll need to prepare the chocolate for dipping. Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe bowl over a pot filled with 1 inch of water. Heat the double boiler until the water is simmering but not creating rising steam. Place the chocolate chips in the bowl, and continually stir the chocolate until it melts.
    5.
    Remove the bowl of chocolate off the heat, leaving the pot behind. Set the hot bowl on a potholder or cloth, and stir the chocolate as it cools. Continue stirring until the chocolate thickens for dipping. Pull your tray of truffles out of the freezer. One by one, use a fork to dip a frozen truffle in the chocolate, let excess chocolate drip off, and return the truffle to the parchment paper.
    6.
    Repeat the dipping process until all the truffles are complete. At your discretion, you can choose to add decoration or Keto topping to the truffle. The truffles photographed here are topped with an extra drizzled design of dark chocolate. Return your tray of truffles to the freezer one final time to set for 30 minutes. After setting, you can keep the truffles in the freezer for a cold treat or store them in the refrigerator for a softer, chilled truffle. The truffles will always be best stored in the refrigerator and should not be left out at room temperature.
