  • Total Time: 2 hours 50 minutes
  • Yield: 24 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp gingerbread spice mix (ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Crushed gingerbread cookies, for rolling or mixing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gingerbread Spice Mix: Combine ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a small bowl to create a warm and aromatic gingerbread spice blend.
  2. Heat the Cream and Butter: In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream and butter together over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the mixture just starts to simmer. Be careful not to boil it.
  3. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips or chopped pieces in a heatproof bowl and pour the heated cream mixture over them. Let sit for a minute to soften, then stir gently until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Stir in Spices and Vanilla: Add the prepared gingerbread spice mix and vanilla extract to the melted white chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly incorporate the warm flavors throughout the creamy mixture.
  5. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm enough to handle and scoop.
  6. Shape the Truffles: Using a small scoop or tablespoon, portion out the mixture and roll it between your palms into neat little balls.
  7. Coat the Truffles: Roll each ball in your choice of crushed gingerbread cookies, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or leave plain for a smooth finish. Arrange on a parchment-lined tray.
  8. Final Chill: Place the coated truffles back in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes or until firm enough to serve or package.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overheat the chocolate to avoid seizing; melt slowly with warm cream.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly to make rolling easier and prevent melting.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform truffle sizes and consistent presentation.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
