Food safety of cream cheese in chocolate truffles #884850

Asked September 11, 2024, 12:35 PM EDT

I want to ship lemon truffles that are not baked.  The recipe was just published in a national magazine this year and does not state they should be stored in the fridge.  However, as I purchased the cream cheese I wondered if it will be safe for them to be at room temperature for a week.  The filling ingredients in the truffles are 36 vanilla sandwich cookies, 8 oz cream cheese and 1/2 tsp. lemon extract for 36 truffles.  Thank you!
