Gingersnap Truffles
Gingersnap Truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These truffles are made with a combination of gingersnap cookies, cream cheese, and white chocolate, creating a rich and flavorful treat that is perfect for any occasion.
To make Gingersnap Truffles, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 package of gingersnap cookies (about 30 cookies)
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz. white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger (optional)
To begin, crush the gingersnap cookies in a food processor until they are finely ground. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies, cream cheese, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and powdered sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to remove any excess chocolate. Place the truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with chopped crystallized ginger, if desired.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. Serve chilled and enjoy!
