Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 1 cup gingerbread cookies or gingersnaps, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg

Coating and Topping

  • ½ cup white chocolate chips (for coating)
  • ½ cup crushed gingerbread cookies (for rolling or topping)
  • Optional: melted dark chocolate for drizzling
  • Optional: festive sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the crushed gingerbread cookies, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg until the mixture forms a smooth, dough-like consistency.
  2. Form Truffles: Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
  3. Chill Truffles: Place the formed truffles onto a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze them for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up before coating.
  4. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 to 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between intervals until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Coat Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring an even coating, then allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing back on the tray.
  6. Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle crushed gingerbread cookies or festive sprinkles over the coated truffles. Optionally, drizzle with melted dark chocolate for added decoration.
  7. Set and Serve: Refrigerate the truffles for 20 to 30 minutes until the coating is fully set. Serve chilled or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese at room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Crush gingerbread cookies finely to ensure a consistent texture in the truffle mixture.
  • Freeze truffles before dipping to prevent melting and to achieve a neat coating.
  • White chocolate chips can be substituted with candy melts if preferred.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness up to five days.
  • For a richer flavor, try using full-fat cream cheese.
