Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g gingerbread cookies, crushed
  • 120 g cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 g white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • festive sprinkles, crushed gingerbread, or cinnamon (optional topping)

Method
 

  1. Place gingerbread cookies in a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs, or crush in a sealed bag with a rolling pin.
  2. Combine cookie crumbs, softened cream cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla in a bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet (makes 20–24 truffles).
  4. Chill the truffles for 30 minutes in the fridge or 15 minutes in the freezer until firm.
  5. Melt white chocolate in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Dip each truffle with a fork and let excess drip off. Add optional toppings while wet.
  6. Let chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up setting.

Notes

For smoother dipping, ensure the truffles are well-chilled. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
