# Ingredient List:

→ Carrot Cake Truffle Base

01 - 1 cup finely grated carrots
02 - 1 cup finely crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
03 - 1/2 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
04 - 1/2 cup full-fat cream cheese, softened
05 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
09 - Pinch of salt

→ Cream Cheese Coating

10 - 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
11 - 3 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
12 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

→ Garnish

13 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped nuts
14 - Orange or green colored sprinkles
15 - Shredded coconut

# How to Prepare:

01 - Combine grated carrots, crushed biscuits, chopped nuts, softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Mix until a cohesive sticky dough forms.
02 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll into uniform balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray.
03 - Refrigerate the formed truffles for a minimum of 1 hour until firm to the touch.
04 - Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in softened cream cheese and butter until completely smooth and glossy.
05 - Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each chilled truffle into the cream cheese coating, allowing excess to drip off. Return coated truffle to the tray.
06 - Immediately apply chosen garnish—chopped nuts, colored sprinkles, or shredded coconut—to each coated truffle while coating remains tacky.
07 - Refrigerate the finished truffles for a minimum of 30 minutes until the coating is completely set and firm.
