Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Crush about 2 cups of gingerbread cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Combine with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves in a mixing bowl. Mix until well blended.
  2. Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and allow excess to drip off.
  4. Return coated truffles to the tray. Optionally sprinkle with crushed gingerbread cookies or sprinkles before the chocolate sets. Chill again for about 20 minutes.
  5. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer.
