1
Bring the cream cheese to room temperature or heat in the microwave to soften.

Chop the walnuts and dried fruits into moderately fine pieces.
-
3
Chop the white chocolate finely and microwave in a heat-resistant dish to soften.
-

-
9
When it becomes smooth, add the walnuts and dried fruits.
-
10
Mix everything together.
-
11
It's fine to leave it in the bowl but if you want it to harden quickly, spread it flat and cool it in the refrigerator until it becomes easier to roll.
-
12
Chilling it for about 2 hours should be fine.
-
13
Sift cocoa powder into a bowl and lightly coat your hands with butter or moisten them and form the dough into balls.
-
14
Roll around in the cocoa powder to coat.
-
15
The balls are difficult to handle while they're still sticky, but once they're coated with cocoa powder, you'll be able to shape them nicely.
-
16
Sprinkle cocoa powder through a tea strainer and onto the chocolate from above.
-
17
Leave in the fridge for at least 1.5~2 hours, or chill overnight until hardened.
-

They are so soft that they melt in your mouth.
-
20
Before wrapping, sprinkle cocoa powder one more time for that extra touch to improve the presentation.

P.S.
-

These smell and taste wonderful if you mix in about 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder with the cocoa powder.
