These creamy gingerbread truffles are a festive, no-bake holiday treat with a velvety center and a sweet white chocolate coating. Packed with classic gingerbread spices, they’re perfect for gifting, parties, or cozy afternoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 16 sheets) graham crackers, finely crushed (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp molasses (unsulphured)
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
  • Crushed gingerbread cookies or graham crackers (optional, for garnish)
  • Festive sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form, or crush in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin. Measure out 2 cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes with a hand mixer).
  3. Add molasses, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined and creamy.
  4. Fold in graham cracker crumbs with a spatula until a thick, uniform dough forms.
  5. Scoop out 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop or spoon. Roll between your palms to smooth and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet (makes about 24 truffles).
  6. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. (Or use a double boiler.)
  8. Using a fork or dipping tool, lower each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate. Tap off excess and return to the tray.
  9. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with crushed cookies, cinnamon, or festive sprinkles.
  10. Chill truffles again for 15-20 minutes, until the coating is firm.
  11. Serve straight from the fridge or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified GF graham crackers. For dairy-free, substitute vegan cream cheese and dairy-free white chocolate. Chill truffles well before coating for best results. If the dough is sticky, chill before rolling. Store in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to a month.
