Tropical Cheesecake Truffles
Servings: 5
Preparation Time: 10 minutes/chill 60 minutes
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 ounces raw ripe mango
- 1 inch vanilla bean
- 3 ounces dried coconut for rolling
Directions:
Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature.
In a large bowl, mix the mango, vanilla bean, honey, and cream cheese using a whisk or an immersion blender. Place the mixture in the freezer for 5 minutes. This will allow the cream cheese mixture to harden and then let you shape into small balls.
In a soup bowl, place 3 ounces dried coconut. Shape cheese into truffle (ball) shapes, roll in the coconut, and place in individual candy cups or directly on a plate. Chill in the fridge for 60 minutes and enjoy.
