Gingersnap Truffles are a delightful no-bake treat combining the spicy warmth of gingersnap cookies with rich cream cheese and smooth milk chocolate coating. These bite-sized truffles are easy to make, perfect for holidays, parties, or whenever you crave a sweet, festive indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Mixture

  • 16 ounces gingersnap cookies
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Dough

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Pulverize cookies: Place 16 ounces of gingersnap cookies into a food processor or high-speed blender and grind them until they become fine crumbs.
  2. Mix spices and crumbs: Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl and add 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly throughout the crumbs.
  3. Add cream cheese and vanilla: Add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the spiced cookie crumbs. Blend or mix until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
  4. Form dough balls: Roll the dough into approximately 36 small, bite-sized balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Place them on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Melt chocolate: Place 2 cups milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
  6. Dip truffles: Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated truffles back onto waxed or parchment paper.
  7. Finish coating: If any truffles have uncoated spots, use a spoon or spatula to drizzle or spread extra melted chocolate to achieve a fully covered surface.
  8. Set the chocolate: Refrigerate the dipped truffles for 15 to 20 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely set.
  9. Serve and store: Enjoy the truffles chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk chocolate chips with dark or white chocolate for different flavor variations.
  • For easier rolling, refrigerate the dough before forming balls if it feels too soft.
  • Use waxed or parchment paper-lined trays to prevent truffles from sticking.
  • Keep refrigerated to maintain freshness and shape.
  • These truffles can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for convenient snacking.
