Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 16 oz Gingersnap Cookies approx. 450g, finely crushed
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese 225g, softened to room temperature
  • 1 tsp Gingerbread Spice 5ml, optional for extra heat
  • 12 oz Dark Chocolate Couverture 340g, high quality for dipping
  • 1 tsp Coconut Oil optional, for satin sheen

Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor For pulverizing cookies
  • 1 Mixing Bowl Large size
  • 1 Parchment Paper For setting truffles

Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. Pulverize gingersnaps in a food processor until they reach a fine sand texture. Reserve 2 tablespoons for topping.
  2. Combine cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese and spices until a dense, moist dough forms.
Shape and Coat
  1. Roll the mixture into 1-inch spheres and chill on a parchment-lined tray for 30 minutes.
  2. Dip chilled spheres into melted dark chocolate. While wet, top with a concentrated pile of the reserved crumbs.

Notes

Use a high-quality dark chocolate bar instead of chips for a smoother finish.
Ensure the truffles are cold before dipping to help the chocolate set instantly.
