Spicy Cajun Truffles
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, divided
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate and cream. Heat on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Add ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon cayenne, and ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg, and stir until combined. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a 1-tablespoon spring-loaded scoop, scoop chocolate mixture, and roll into 1-inch balls. (If mixture is too hard to scoop, let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.) Place truffles on prepared pan, and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, remaining ¼ teaspoon cayenne, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg. Roll truffles in sugar mixture to coat.
