Ingredients

  • 100 grams Cream cheese
  • 40 grams White Chocolate
  • 30 grams Sugar
  • 2 tsp Rum
  • 25 grams Dried Fruits (Raisins or Mixed)
  • 15 grams Walnuts
  • 1 Van Houten Pure Cocoa
  • 1 dash under 1/2 teaspoon Optional: Cinnamon powder

Method

  • Bring the cream cheese to room temperature or heat in the microwave to soften.
  • Chop the walnuts and dried fruits into moderately fine pieces.
  • Chop the white chocolate finely and microwave in a heat-resistant dish to soften.
  • Mix well until all the chocolate is smoothly melted.
  • Put the cream cheese in a bowl and use a whisk to whip until smooth.
  • Add the sugar and mix.
  • Add the rum and continue mixing.
  • Now add the melted white chocolate and mix it in.
  • When it becomes smooth, add the walnuts and dried fruits.
  • Mix everything together.
  • It's fine to leave it in the bowl but if you want it to harden quickly, spread it flat and cool it in the refrigerator until it becomes easier to roll.
  • Chilling it for about 2 hours should be fine.
  • Sift cocoa powder into a bowl and lightly coat your hands with butter or moisten them and form the dough into balls.
  • Roll around in the cocoa powder to coat.
  • The balls are difficult to handle while they're still sticky, but once they're coated with cocoa powder, you'll be able to shape them nicely.
  • Sprinkle cocoa powder through a tea strainer and onto the chocolate from above.
  • Leave in the fridge for at least 1.5~2 hours, or chill overnight until hardened.
  • Then they're finished.
  • They are so soft that they melt in your mouth.
  • Before wrapping, sprinkle cocoa powder one more time for that extra touch to improve the presentation.
  • P.S.
  • These smell and taste wonderful if you mix in about 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder with the cocoa powder.
  • Please give it a try.
