Cheesecake Truffles
It’s “Cookie Time!” Everyone’s baking and all excited about it. Me, not so much, but every December my friends host a fun Cookie Exchange Party so I pull out my Kitchen Aid and get to work. If I even consider taking a pass, my kids lobby hard to keep me in the game. They anticipate the array of creations that come home after the event, knowing that there will be cookies more elaborately decorated, intensely flavored or flat-out more adventurous than any in my repertoire.
This year a “no-bake” recipe caught my eye early in my planning and I just couldn’t shake the thought of it. The recipe was for Cheesecake Truffles promoted by Philadelphia Cream Cheese and I promise that it was more than the lack of oven time that appealed to me. The “truffles” are actually little mini cheesecakes that I thought would be a great entry in the Exchange.
As you will see, these Cheesecake Truffles are not likely to win the “Best Looking” category but the taste is spot on and “Most Creative” could be calling my name. Give them a try and let me know if you think they’re a winner. In the meantime, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I will see you in 2017!
