These Gingerbread Truffles are a perfect Christmas treat that are super easy to make. Made with only 3 ingredients, everyone will love these truffles!

The Christmas Holiday season is one of my favorite times of year. I love baking cookies, specially making Gingerbread Cookies. These Gingerbread Truffles are a quick and easy treat to make. These truffles are great for a holiday party or to make and give as a gift. 

How to make Gingerbread Truffles:

These Gingerbread Truffles are super easy to make. With just 3 ingredients needed to make these, you can make these very easily.

Crush and Form: You need to crush your Ginger Snap cookies very finely. I use a food processor to do that. Then mix in the cream cheese with the crushed cookies. Scoop the “cookie dough” and form them into balls.

Freeze: Place the balls on a baking sheet and then place in the freezer to allow the balls to set and harden. Pull them out of the freezer and prepare you melted almond bark.

Dip and Freeze: Use a fork and dip the balls into the melted almond bark. Place the balls back on the baking sheet, and then once they are all dipped put them back in the freezer to harden.

Before placing them in the freezer decorate with Christmas Sprinkles if you would like.

Ingredient Notes:

• Ginger Snap Cookies: This has the perfect flavor for these truffles.
• Cream Cheese: Make sure you allow your cream cheese to be softened and then cut into cubes.
• White Almond Bark
• Optional: Sprinkles for decoration

Directions:

Step One – Prepare baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set aside.

Step Two – Place ginger snap cookies into a food processor and plush until cookies are crushed into fine crumbs.

Step Three – Place crushed ginger snap cookies into mixing bowl with softened cream cheese.

Use an electric hand mixer to beat cream cheese until cookie crumbs are fully incorporating.

Step Four – Scoop out 1 tablespoon and roll into balls then place on your prepared lined baking sheet.

Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until truffle balls are solid.

Step Five – Melt almond bark according to package directions.

Dip frozen truffle balls in melted almond bark and place them back onto the lined baking sheet.

Step Six – Once all truffles are coated top with optional sprinkles.

Then place the baking sheet with your truffles back into the freezer for 15 minutes until coating is set.

Once set serve and enjoy.

Tips for making the Gingerbread Truffles:

1. You can use white chocolate melting wafers instead of almond bark if you prefer.
2. If you don’t have a food processor to crush the cookies you can place the cookies in a large Ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies.
3. Freezing the truffle balls before dipping them into the almond bark is essential. If you just place them in the refrigerator they will not harden enough and may fall apart.
4. If you are going to use sprinkles to decorate apply them immediately after dipping them in the almond bark or they will not stick.

How to store truffles:

You can store these truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week after you make them.

You can also freeze the truffles for up to a month after making them. Store them in an airtight container separating the layers with wax paper. Thaw in the refrigerator when you are ready to serve them.
