Ingredients
  

For the Truffle Dough
  • 2 cups Crushed Gingerbread Cookies Opt for packaged for consistency.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Should be softened but not melted.
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon Infuses warmth and holiday flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg Adds depth that pairs perfectly with cinnamon.
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves Use sparingly to avoid overpowering.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Balances the tangy cream cheese.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips or Melting Wafers Choose what melts best.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • fork

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed gingerbread cookies, softened cream cheese, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix until well-blended and form a dough-like consistency.
  2. Use your hands to roll the dough into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Refrigerate the formed truffles for 30–60 minutes to firm them up.
  4. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  5. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before returning to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Decorate the truffles with crushed gingerbread crumbs, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
  7. Refrigerate again for 15-30 minutes until the chocolate coating is set.

Notes

Ensure all tools are completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing. Chill truffle dough before coating for best results. Layer finished truffles with parchment paper in an airtight container for storage.
