Equipment

Ingredients

Truffle Filling

Coating & Topping

  • 12 ounces white chocolate or white candy coating
  • 2 ounces white chocolate (additional for drizzle)
  • Festive sprinkles, for decoration

Instructions

For the truffle filling

  • Add the gingersnap cookies to a food processor and blend until very fine crumbs form.
  • Add the cream cheese, vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger. Pulse or mix until fully combined and a thick, dough-like mixture forms.
  • Roll the mixture into about 1 tablespoon sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Freeze for 20–30 minutes, or until firm.

For the coating

  • Melt 12 oz of white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • Use a fork to dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off before placing back on parchment paper.
  • Let the coating set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 minutes until firm.

For the drizzle & decoration

  • Melt the remaining 2 oz white chocolate. Drizzle over the truffles using a fork or piping bag.Immediately add festive sprinkles before the drizzle set

Notes

Tips for Success
  • Use crisp gingersnaps instead of soft for the best flavor and texture, crisp cookies blend into smooth crumbs more easily.
  • Chill the truffle mixture before dipping to keep the balls from falling apart in the melted chocolate.
  • If the coating thickens while dipping, reheat in 10-second intervals and stir smooth again.
  • Add a touch of coconut oil to the white chocolate if you prefer a thinner coating.
Storage
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months and thaw in the fridge before serving.
