How to Make Perfect Lindor Truffles

Melt and mix: Melt milk chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler, then mix in softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Form the chocolate truffles: Scoop out the chilled mixture into 28 truffles, inserting a toothpick into each. Freeze for 45-60 minutes or until they are hard to the touch.

Double dipping: Melt dark chocolate for coating in the microwave or with a double boiler. Pick each truffle up with the toothpick and dip it in the melted dark chocolate. Optionally, add shaved or chopped almonds to the melted chocolate. Place on a plate and let it harden in the refrigerator. 

Pro Tips

  • Quality chocolate: High-quality milk and dark chocolate enhance the overall flavor of these chocolate truffles. Plus, it will melt better!
  • Careful chocolate melting: I use my microwave to melt the chocolate in intervals, stirring each time to prevent it from burning and to achieve that smooth consistency. Or, I use a double boiler over low to medium heat.
  • Soften cream cheese: Allowing the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing with the melted chocolate gives these classic, velvety truffle texture.
  • Consistent truffle size: A small ice cream scoop or spoon is best for forming each Lindor Truffle copycat. This keeps them uniformly sized for even freezing and coating and beautiful presentation.
  • Smooth rolling: If the mixture becomes too sticky, I lightly grease my hands with a flavorless oil or butter to help roll the truffles.

Key Ingredients and Substitutions for Lindor Truffles

Milk and Dark Chocolate: These chocolate truffles are classically made with a milk chocolate interior and dark chocolate exterior, but the sky’s the limit. Just as there are many Lindor truffle flavors, there are many chocolate flavor combos to try. Another one I love is a milk chocolate interior with a white chocolate coating.

Cream Cheese: I use cream cheese for its smooth and creamy texture because it makes the Lindor truffle copycat taste the most similar to real Lindor truffles. Substituting in plain Greek yogurt or sour cream can have a similar tang and creaminess, but the consistency won’t be the same.

Shaved or Chopped Almonds: I sprinkle shaved almonds on right after dipping the truffles in chocolate for an extra crunch. Other crushed nuts like peanuts, pecans, or even pistachios would be tasty. 

How Lindor Truffles are made

Frequently Asked Questions about Chocolate Truffles

Do Lindor Truffles need to be refrigerated?

Store homemade Lindor truffles in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. When stored in the fridge, they maintain a soft, melt-in-the-mouth center, which is best for immediate serving.

If kept in the freezer, they take on an ice-cream-like consistency — resembling a bonbon — which is great for a refreshing treat. 

What is inside Lindor Truffles?

Lindor truffles are known for their smooth, melt-in-the-middle filling. Surrounded by a shell of chocolate, the creamy ganache center provides a unique (and delicious) texture contrast. 

How do I prevent each Lindor Truffle copycat from cracking?

To prevent homemade chocolate truffles from cracking, I make sure they fully chill before coating and I avoid drastic temperature changes during storage.

Lindor truffles are a luxurious chocolate treat with a smooth, creamy center encased by a layer of rich dark chocolate. It’s easy to make a homemade version with 3 simple ingredients!
Course Appetizer, Dessert
Cuisine American
Keyword dark chocolate, Lindor Truffles, truffles
Prep Time 35 minutes
Waiting Time 3 hours
Total Time 3 hours 35 minutes
Servings 28 Truffles
Calories 88kcal

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese softened to room temperature
  • 6 oz milk chocolate
  • 4 oz dark chocolate for coating
  • 28 toothpicks
  • 2 tbsp almonds chopped/shaved

Instructions

  • Melt milk chocolate in the microwave in 60-second rounds or using a double broiler system. See notes*
  • Incorporate softened cream cheese and stir until well combined. The warm chocolate will help to create a smooth consistency. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Once the mixture is chilled and with a malleable consistency, roll on 28 truffles. Then, insert one toothpick in the center of each ball. Place them into a plate in the freezer for 45-60 minutes or until they are hard to the touch.
  • Melt dark chocolate for coating just before using it in the microwave or with the double broiler system. As the truffles are chilled, it will be easier to coat them in chocolate. Take each of them from the toothpick and dip them into the melted dark chocolate for coating. Finally, place them onto a plate and refrigerate until the coating has fully hardened.
  • *  Optional Almond Topping: If you choose to add shaved or chopped almonds, sprinkle them on the truffles immediately after dipping them in dark chocolate. This adds a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
  • You can store these truffles in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. The fridge version has a softer melt-in-mouth center, while the freezer one is more like an ice-cream bonbon.

Notes

Useful tips
 
  • Choose high-quality chocolate. That’s the best way to achieve an unforgettable Lindor-style truffle.
  • When melting chocolate, whether in the microwave or using a double broiler, ensure that it melts evenly. Stir the chocolate at each interval when using the microwave, and avoid overheating to prevent burning. For a double broiler, maintain low to medium heat.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This ensures a smoother incorporation into the melted chocolate, creating a consistent and velvety truffle filling.
  • If the mixture is too sticky to handle, lightly grease your hands with a flavorless oil or butter. This will make it easier to roll the truffles without them sticking to your hands.
  • If the mixture is too sticky to handle, lightly grease your hands with a flavorless oil or butter. This will make it easier to roll the truffles without them sticking to your hands.
