Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Truffles
  1. Begin by crushing your gingerbread cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Combine the crumbs in a mixing bowl with softened cream cheese, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  2. Once your gingerbread dough is prepared, shape it into bite-sized balls, roughly one inch in diameter. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  3. Melt your white chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth and completely melted.
  4. Use a fork to carefully dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it's fully covered. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. While the chocolate is still slightly warm, sprinkle crushed gingerbread crumbs or colorful sprinkles on top.
  6. Refrigerate again for about 15-20 minutes to ensure the chocolate coating has fully set.
