# How To Make:

01 - Combine grated carrots, crushed biscuits, chopped nuts, softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until a sticky, cohesive dough forms.
02 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll into uniform balls between your palms. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray and refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
03 - Melt chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, stirring frequently until completely smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in softened cream cheese and butter until the mixture becomes glossy and fully incorporated.
04 - Using a fork or dipping tool, individually dip each chilled truffle into the warm cream cheese coating, allowing excess to drip off before returning to the tray.
