white chocolate gingerbread truffles
Today I was able to make these amazing white chocolate gingerbread truffles. Granted they are not the healthiest little treats but once in a while I like to indulge. These are the perfect little treats for the upcoming holidays for sure!
Around Christmas I normally make one of my most popular chocolate recipes, Baileys pistachio white chocolate fudge but this year I wanted to change things up and do something else.
These white chocolate gingerbread truffles turned out brilliantly! I think next time I might actually turn it into a truffle pie it was so good. This way I will be able to add more heavy cream and make the mixture not as sweet.
These white chocolate gingerbread truffles go a long way. One or two and you are good to go. They are extremely sweet so they will satisfy your sweet craving for sure.
I have already gotten around gifting homemade treats for Christmas and these are the ones that I have used to start with. I don’t have much gingerbread stuff in the blog so I also wanted to make sure that I get a few more recipes.
I might try to make a healthier version of gingerbread truffles along the road but for now these are the ones I ended up with.
If you are looking for something to make this holiday season or gift to your love ones these white chocolate gingerbread truffles are the perfect treat. I hope you get to make them.
Enjoy!

Miryam's original recipe
Yield: 20 truffles
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 12 oz white chocolate chips, I used Ghirardelli brand
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz ginger snaps, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Directions:
In a medium sauce pan heat the heavy cream over medium to low heat. Don't boil just heat it to the point before boiling. Whisk until chocolate is melted. (If you find that the chocolate doesn't melt place bowl over a double boiler until it does or microwave it for 1 minute to 30 seconds)
Stir in the finely chopped ginger snaps and spices and combine. Store it in the fridge until harden enough to roll. About 1 hour.
With a spoon take small pieces of the chocolate mixture and roll them to form a ball. Deep the truffles in some additional pulverized ginger snaps and store in the fridge until time to serve.
Before serving let the truffles sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
