Equipment
- Food processor
- Mixing bowl
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
Truffles
- 15.3 oz Gingerbread Oreos (1 package)
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
Optional for coating/decoration
- Melted white chocolate
- holiday-themed sprinkles
- crushed gingerbread cookies
- powdered sugar
Instructions
Preparation
- Finely crush the entire package of Gingerbread Oreos, including the filling, in a food processor until a fine crumb is achieved, or use a rolling pin if preferred.
- Transfer the crushed Oreos to a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese.
- Mix the cream cheese and cookie crumbs until a uniform, dough-like consistency forms that is firm enough to roll.
Assembly
- Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls; place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or platter.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes until firm to help them hold their shape and make coating easier.
Decoration
- Dip each chilled truffle into melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off, and immediately sprinkle with holiday sprinkles or crushed gingerbread cookies, or leave plain.
- Place decorated truffles back on the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes until the chocolate coating is set.
Notes
For easier rolling, you can lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar before shaping the truffles. If the mixture becomes too sticky while rolling, chill it for an additional 10-15 minutes.
