Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare the Gingerbread Cookie Crumbs by finely crushing your gingerbread cookies in a food processor or by hand until resembling sand.
  • Mix the Truffle Base by combining the crushed gingerbread cookies with softened cream cheese until smooth and cohesive.
  • Add the Flavors by stirring in powdered sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, molasses, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Chill the Mixture for about 30 minutes, covered with plastic wrap, to firm it up.
  • Shape the Truffles into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Prepare the Chocolate Coating by melting semisweet chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals.
  • Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, before returning them to the baking sheet.
  • Add a Finishing Touch by sprinkling extra crushed gingerbread cookies or cocoa powder on top before the chocolate sets.
  • Let the Chocolate Harden in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm.
  • Store the Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh spices and don’t skip the chilling step before shaping the truffles. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
