Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of culinary-grade matcha powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until evenly distributed and desired brightness is achieved.
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion the mixture into 1-inch balls, rolling them gently. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt 1 cup of white chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth. Mix in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil if using.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl, then return to the tray.
- Drizzle tinted white chocolate or sprinkle matcha powder on top for decoration.
- Allow the truffles to set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or refrigerate for quicker setting.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Proper chilling is essential for maintaining truffle shape during coating.
