8. Step 8: Allow the truffles to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat cream cheese for creamier texture and richer flavor.
• You can experiment with milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for the coating.
• If chocolate hardens too quickly, you can briefly warm it again for easier dipping.
