Step 1

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each time until the chocolate is smooth and melted (heating in intervals will ensure you don’t burn the chocolate). Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of the confectioner’s sugar. Next, beat in the vanilla and espresso powder. Add the melted chocolate and Nutella, beat until smooth. Last, add the remaining 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar and beat on medium speed until everything is combined. Place plastic wrap on top of the mixture and put in to the refrigerator to set for about 2 hours.

Step 3

Once the truffles have set, use a melon baller to scoop the mixture and shape into balls. Coat a third of the recipe in the chopped walnuts, a third in the confectioner’s sugar, and a third in the cocoa powder. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
