Description
Gingerbread Truffles are bite-sized dessert balls made from crushed gingerbread cookies and cream cheese, coated in melted chocolate, offering a rich and festive treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed gingerbread cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 8 ounces melted chocolate (dark or milk)
- Festive sugar or additional spices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed gingerbread cookies and softened cream cheese. Add ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
- Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Dip each truffle in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment and garnish if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to set. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing. Chill the mixture before shaping to maintain shape.
