INGREDIENTS

YIELDS APPROXIMATELY 40 BALLS

2 3½-oz (100 g) bars dairy white chocolate
½ cup (1 stick) butter room temperature
1 8-oz (225 g) pkg cream cheese room temperature
2 Tbsp amaretto (Kahlúa or vanilla vodka)
¼ tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

2–3 3½-oz (100 g) bars of white or milk chocolate or use both to create a beautiful mixed look

PREPARATION

Melt the white chocolate either in a microwave at 20-second increments for about 2 minutes stirring well until completely smooth or over a double boiler.

Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add in amaretto and vanilla. Beat in melted chocolate. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Shape into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls (I used a small scoop and then rolled by hand). Place onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 2 hours till firm.
