Description
Simple truffles flavored like a banana split dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon banana extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained well
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 12 ounces white chocolate, melted
- 1/4 cup melted dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup melted milk chocolate
- Maraschino cherries, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, banana extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and chopped nuts.
- Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
- Roll the chilled mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the white chocolate according to package directions.
- Dip each truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Return to the parchment paper.
- Allow the white chocolate coating to set slightly.
- Melt the dark and milk chocolates separately.
- Drizzle the dark and milk chocolates over the white chocolate coating for decoration.
- If using, press a small piece of maraschino cherry onto the top of each truffle before the chocolate sets completely.
- Refrigerate the truffles until the chocolate is firm.
Notes
- Make sure the crushed pineapple is very well drained to prevent the truffle mixture from becoming too soft.
- You can substitute the nuts with toasted coconut flakes for a different texture.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
