Method
- Gently melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, stir the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the slightly cooled white chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.
- Slowly pour in the eggnog while mixing. Stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. If using, mix in the bourbon or rum.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the filling into 1-inch balls. Roll gently between your hands to smooth. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and return to the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- While the truffles are chilling, melt the dark chocolate using the same method as the white chocolate. Let it cool slightly.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted dark chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, allowing the excess to drip off. Place each one back onto the parchment-lined tray.
- If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with crushed gingersnaps or a pinch of nutmeg before the coating sets.
- Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate until firm. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
