Ingredients:

  • 200g high-quality white chocolate
  • 50g cocoa butter (optional for extra sheen)
  • 250ml heavy whipping cream
  • 50g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 50g cream cheese, softened

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a heat-proof bowl, chop the white chocolate into small pieces. If using cocoa butter for sheen, chop it as well. Set up a double boiler and stir until fully melted and smooth.
  2. Coat the Molds: Use a silicone mold to evenly coat the inside with the melted chocolate. Place the mold in the freezer for about 15 minutes to set.
  3. Second Layer: Check the first layer. If thin, apply a second coat of melted chocolate and freeze for another 15 minutes.
  4. Remove from Mold: Carefully pop the chocolate spheres out of the mold. Trim any rough edges if necessary.
  5. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  6. Add Sugar and Flavoring: Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  7. Combine with Cream Cheese: Mix softened cream cheese until smooth and fold in the whipped cream mixture.
  8. Fill the Spheres: Carefully fill each chocolate sphere with the cream filling, leaving a small gap at the top.
  9. Seal the Spheres: Melt white chocolate to glue a small disc on top of each filled sphere.
  10. Chill: Place the filled spheres in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours to firm up.
  11. Serve: Plate the spheres and dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar for decoration.
