Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Truffles
- Start by placing 2 cups of gingersnap cookies into a food processor. Pulse until they turn into fine crumbs.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs with 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, and 1 tsp of ground ginger. Mix until a thick, cohesive dough forms, usually about 2-3 minutes of vigorous mixing.
- Using your hands, scoop about one tablespoon of the gingerbread mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each rolled ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are about two inches apart.
- Once all truffles are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the truffles are firm to the touch.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 12 oz of white chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until completely melted and smooth.
- Carefully dip each chilled gingerbread truffle into the white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing each truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the remaining 2 oz of white chocolate in the same manner. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each set truffle and immediately sprinkle festive toppings before the chocolate hardens.
- Let them sit at room temperature to firm up, or place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
