Gingerbread Truffles

These Gingerbread Truffles are the perfect bite of the holidays — rich, spiced, and sweetly coated in white chocolate. Made with crushed ginger snaps, cream cheese, and cozy spices, they’re easy to make and absolutely irresistible for Christmas gatherings or gift boxes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups crushed ginger snap cookies

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1 tablespoon molasses

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 8 oz white chocolate (for coating)

• Optional: crushed ginger snaps or sprinkles for topping

Instructions

1. Make the truffle base: In a food processor, crush ginger snaps into fine crumbs. Add cream cheese, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pulse until a soft dough forms.

2. Shape the truffles: Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Chill: Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, until firm.

4. Coat in chocolate: Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl (20-second intervals, stirring each time). Dip each chilled truffle into the chocolate and place it back on parchment paper.

5. Decorate: While the coating is still soft, sprinkle crushed cookies or festive sprinkles on top.

6. Set and serve: Refrigerate until chocolate hardens — about 15 minutes. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

• Use dark or milk chocolate for coating if you prefer a richer flavor.

• Add a few drops of vanilla or rum extract for depth.

• Store truffles in the refrigerator up to one week — they’re great make-ahead treats!
