Step-by-Step Instructions for easy Gingerbread Truffles
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of crushed gingerbread cookies, 8 oz of softened cream cheese, and 8 oz of melted white chocolate. Stir until a cohesive and creamy dough forms, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place each truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Refrigerate the shaped truffles for another 30 minutes.
  5. Melt another 8 oz of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, then dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate.
  6. Sprinkle with desired toppings before the chocolate sets and let them rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  7. Once the coating has hardened, store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
