Prep Time 20 minutes
Chill time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ a bag of red chocolate melts
  • 2 boxes 10 cakes of Christmas Tree Cakes
  • ½ cup cream cheese frosting
  • 1 bag bright white chocolate melts
  • Green sanding sugar

Instructions
 

  • Combine the Christmas Tree Cakes and cream cheese frosting in a stand mixer and blend at high speed until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
  • Scoop out approximately two tablespoons of the mixture at a time and roll into uniform balls; you should produce 10 in total. Arrange the formed truffles on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Transfer the tray to the freezer and allow the truffles to chill for one hour.
  • Meanwhile, place the white chocolate melts in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 45-second bursts, stirring after each interval until fully melted and smooth.
  • Retrieve the truffles from the freezer and immerse each one individually into the melted white chocolate. Roll each truffle to fully coat, then lift out using a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Set the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper.
  • After all truffles are dipped, place them back into the freezer for roughly 10 minutes to let the coating firm up.
  • Once the coating has solidified, melt the red chocolate melts and transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag. Snip a small opening at the tip.
  • Moisten the tops of the truffles lightly with water using a fingertip, then dust with green sanding sugar.
  • Pipe red decorative lines in a gentle side-to-side motion over each truffle.
  • Allow decorations to set completely before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

Ensure the truffle mixture is thoroughly blended for a smooth texture. Handle the dipped truffles carefully to preserve their round shape and decorative finish.
