These amazing dessert bites are only two ingredients! Perfect alongside a glass of wine for your next holiday party!
It is FINALLY officially the Christmas season, wahoo!! We had a crazy, busy Thanksgiving week filled with good food and spending time with family. Exactly what you're supposed to do on Thanksgiving, right?!
Of course that night and the day after were filled with deal hunting, mostly online. I just love Black Friday shopping because I LOVE scoring a great deal. My boys are finally at the age where I can take them out for a bit with me and they're generally well behaved. I say generally because if we go to a store where there are *usually* car carts available, but they're all taken, there may be a tantrum or two. And that would mean I turn into mean mom and strap everyone back in the car to head home. Which would then lead to bad mood mom. They pretty much NEVER want to see bad mood mom. :)
I have to say though, I kind of love the craziness of the season. I know I can't possibly pull it all together, but I do surprise myself every year with how much I actually DO accomplish in the midst of raising these two crazy kiddos.
One of my favorite things to do around the holidays is have friends over for dessert, coffee, and drinks. These bite sized truffles are only two ingredients - anybody can pull them off! And they pair absolutely perfect with a glass of Pacific Rim Sweet Riesling. Or just make a batch of these, pour yourself a glass, and relax by the fire. What a delicious end to a busy day of Christmas shopping!
Easy Cheesecake Truffles
1 Sara Lee Original Cream Classic Cheesecake, slightly thawed 1 package microwavable chocolate coating seasonal sprinkles (optional) 12 toothpicks
With a spoon, remove slightly thawed filling from cheesecake and form into bite sized balls. Place a toothpick into each ball. Freeze formed balls for three hours or until firm. Melt chocolate coating in microwave as instructed. Using the toothpick, dip the balls in the coating and place on a piece of waxed paper. Sprinkle quickly with seasonal sprinkles before chocolate hardens.
Oh my word, these will be gone in seconds I'm telling you! If the cheesecake becomes too gooey, you may need to place it back in the freezer for a few minutes to harden up again. These take no time at all to make!
If you're looking for a great wine to serve at your next holiday gathering, be sure to check out these amazing Pacific Wine Riesling wines! They are available in original (Medium Dry), Dry, or Sweet varieties. I have to say with how beautiful and colorful the bottles are, they would make an excellent host or neighbor gift as well! Sara Lee has paired up with Pacific Rim Riesling to give you some excellent dessert ideas perfectly matched with each wine.
