Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (high-quality)
  • 1 cup crushed gingerbread cookies
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon gingerbread spice mix (blend of ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gingerbread Mixture: Crush gingerbread cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and rolling with a pin. In a large bowl, combine the crushed cookies, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and gingerbread spice mix. Mix until the dough is smooth, firm, and holds together well.
  2. Shape the Truffles: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into uniform bite-sized balls. Place the shaped balls on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt the White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave them in short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Melt until smooth and silky.
  4. Dip and Coat: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place the coated truffles back on parchment paper to allow the chocolate to harden slightly.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle optional toppings such as crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, or additional gingerbread spices. Let the truffles set fully in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate and fresh spices for the best flavor.
  • Chill the truffle mixture and coated truffles thoroughly to help them hold their shape and improve texture.
  • Work over parchment paper to keep your workspace clean and simplify transfer.
  • Melt white chocolate slowly to avoid seizing or burning the chocolate coating.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in a cool place for freshness.
