So I was going to a pot luck dinner and promised to make a dessert. I was going to make a cheesecake but what a pain with all that cutting and putting into bowls and then a small child runs into you and makes you drop it and you have to smile and say "that's fine" when really you want to lose it because you really needed that piece of cheesecake and when you look over at the table there's just one manky bit some little shit has poked with their finger. Oh so I made truffles. Ingredients 1 cup Chocolate chips (I made two lots milk and white - use pams they're great) 1 thing of Philly Cream Cheese - you could use another sort, but get traditional (never ever spreadable) or they will be soft. 1/4 cup icing sugar cocoa or coconut or crushed up flake to roll them in (eat the big bits of flake that don't crush when the kids aren't looking) Melt choc chips in microwave. put in a bowl or jug and microwave for 30s, stop stir, and repeat until they are liquid. They will pretend not be melted but they will be. Get a kid to do this - it's really boring. Beat cream cheese with electric beater til soft. It's better to have it at room temp - I just buy it then don't bother to unpack the shopping and then it is perfect. Add icing sugar and beat Stir in chocolate. Beat it in for all I care. (If you are being fancy like I was and making white and brown, do the white ones first.) Put in the fridge for an hour while you go "shit I promised to make a salad, and corn fritters for my vegetarian daughter who only ate three mini ones and I cooked a billion" With clean as hands take a teaspoon full and roll into balls and then into the outside stuff - roll them and then toss quickly from hand to hand so the excess falls off. Do the white choc ones first - do the coconut coated ones and then the flake and then the cocoa - then wash your hands and start with the milk or dark choc. Put in fridge. don't let the kids "taste" them.
