Ingredients
-
300g (about 2 ½ cups) gingerbread cookies, crushed
-
120g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened
-
½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
-
¼ tsp ground cloves
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
250g (8 oz) white chocolate chips or melting wafers, for coating
-
Optional toppings: festive sprinkles, crushed gingerbread, cinnamon
Instructions
-
Crush the Cookies
Add gingerbread cookies to a food processor and blend into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. -
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the crumbs with cream cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla until a soft dough forms. Hands work great here! -
Shape the Truffles
Roll 1-tablespoon portions into smooth balls and place on a parchment-lined tray. -
Chill
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes until firm. -
Melt & Dip
Melt white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Dip each chilled truffle, letting excess drip off, then return to the tray. -
Decorate
Add sprinkles or extra cookie crumbs while the chocolate is still wet. -
Set & Serve
Let truffles harden at room temperature or chill again briefly before serving.
Notes
-
Too sticky? Add a tablespoon of extra crumbs.
-
Too dry? Add a touch more cream cheese.
-
For cleaner dipping, freeze truffles slightly longer.
-
These freeze great—store without toppings for best results.
