Chocolate Cheesecake Truffle Balls
These are absolutley fantastic and easy! If you want a cheesecake dessert to put out for a party, or bring to a potluck, these are an excellent alternative to making an entire cheesecake, and they don't require individual plates and forks. I usually double the recipe because one batch doesn't make very many, but if you're only making them for a small group of people then one batch should suffice.
