Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Truffles
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed gingerbread cookies, softened cream cheese, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and vanilla extract. Blend until a smooth dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Melt the white chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  4. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow excess to drip before placing on parchment paper.
  5. If desired, sprinkle with crushed gingerbread crumbs or festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets. Return coated truffles to the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
