Nothing is quite as satisfying for dessert like an adorable truffle, and this vanilla-fudge version is sure to find a spot on your recipe rotation after you take your first bite. The best part is this recipe requires just four ingredients. Simply beat together the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla extract to combine, roll them around in even more cocoa powder into balls, and refrigerate until they're firm, which should take a couple of hours. It really doesn't get much easier than that! Savory and sweet, these are a beautiful-looking, crowd-pleasing treat that provides a wonderfully satisfying conclusion to any dinner party.
