Raspberry Truffles are a smooth, bite-sized candy with a cream cheese base and a delicious raspberry flavor. You can modify the recipe by rolling the balls in cocoa, powdered sugar, toasted coconut, or any nuts of your choice. I would not recommend dipping them in chocolate, however, as the filling remains too soft for dipping.
Prep Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Preparation:
1. Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with aluminum foil and spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place the cream cheese in a mixer bowl and beat on medium-high until smooth and creamy. Add the melted white chocolate and beat until smooth.
3. Stir in the cookie crumbs, raspberry preserves, vanilla, and food coloring. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for an hour.
4. Shape the mixture into small balls. Finish by rolling in chopped nuts. Store in an airtight refrigerated container.
