Nutella Truffles
I’m supposed to be studying for my Psychopathology midterm that is Wednesday, but I haven’t started. You know how people procrastinate by cleaning their rooms, doing errands, and, like, hanging out with friends? Yeah I bake. I super bake. I bake until the cows come home. It’s both therapeutic and kills time. Plus these nutella truffles were pretty darn tasty 🙂
I mean, it’s actually pretty good for everyone involved. My housemates get to eat truffles, I get to eat truffles, and everyone’s stress levels go way down. Obviously a win-win. As for the exam itself, we’ll see how that goes. I should start that now. Slash tomorrow…

Ingredients
for the truffles
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips1 cup Nutella 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso (or 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee) powder
- a pinch of salt
for the coating
- 1/3 cups walnuts, finely chopped
- 3/4 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 3/4 cups cocoa powder
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each time until the chocolate is smooth and melted (heating in intervals will ensure you don’t burn the chocolate). Set aside.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of the confectioner’s sugar. Next, beat in the vanilla and espresso powder. Add the melted chocolate and Nutella, beat until smooth. Last, add the remaining 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar and beat on medium speed until everything is combined. Place plastic wrap on top of the mixture and put in to the refrigerator to set for about 2 hours.
- Once the truffles have set, use a melon baller to scoop the mixture and shape into balls. Coat a third of the recipe in the chopped walnuts, a third in the confectioner’s sugar, and a third in the cocoa powder. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
