Yield:
Makes approximately 24 balls
Ingredients:
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam
- 3/4 cup finely crushed wafer crumbs
- 1 cup finely chopped almonds
Instructions:
-
Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or heavy saucepan, melt the chocolate chips until smooth, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the melted chocolate, continuing to beat until well combined and creamy.
-
Incorporate Ingredients: Stir in the raspberry jam and wafer crumbs until evenly distributed throughout the mixture, creating a smooth and uniform consistency.
-
Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or until firm. This step allows the flavors to meld together and the mixture to set properly.
-
Shape into Balls: Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion out small amounts. Roll each portion into 1-inch balls, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniformity.
-
Coat with Almonds: Place the chopped almonds in a shallow dish. Roll each fudge ball in the almonds, coating them evenly for a delightful crunch and added flavor.
-
Store: Transfer the raspberry fudge balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy these irresistible treats whenever the craving strikes!
