Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Truffles
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of crushed gingerbread cookies, 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a uniform dough forms, about 3–5 minutes.
- Use a small scoop or your hands to roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, roughly 1 inch in diameter. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1 ½ cups of white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until completely melted and smooth, about 1–2 minutes.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Transfer them back to the lined baking sheet.
- If desired, sprinkle with crushed gingerbread or festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets. Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until firm.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth dough. Refrigerate the dough before rolling to maintain shape.
