Gingerbread Truffles White Chocolate

Gingerbread Truffles White Chocolate

Gingerbread Truffles White Chocolate are creamy, festive treats that blend warm gingerbread spices with rich white chocolate. Perfect for gifting or indulging, these smooth and luscious truffles deliver a cozy holiday flavor in every bite and are simple to make at home.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 55 minutes
  • Yield: About 20 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Filling

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup molasses or dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons gingerbread spice mix (ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the gingerbread filling: Melt the unsalted butter gently over low heat, then stir in molasses or dark brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the gingerbread spice blend and vanilla extract, allowing the warm aromas to fill your kitchen. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before adding the cream and white chocolate chips, stirring continuously until you have a smooth, thick mixture.
  2. Chill the mixture: Transfer the filling to a covered bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to handle. This step is crucial for shaping the truffles without the mixture sticking to your hands.
  3. Shape the truffles: Once chilled, scoop small portions (about a tablespoon each) and gently roll them into smooth balls using your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray to keep them separated and neat.
  4. Melt the white chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt your white chocolate slowly, stirring every 20 seconds until completely smooth and glossy. This ensures a perfect coating consistency without burning the chocolate.
  5. Coat the truffles: Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to fully cover it. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, then transfer the coated truffle back onto the parchment paper. Repeat for all truffles.
  6. Let the truffles set: Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely. Now they’re ready to enjoy or gift!

Notes

  • Use quality white chocolate for a smoother, shinier coating.
  • Chill the filling thoroughly to make shaping easier and cleaner.
  • Melt white chocolate slowly and avoid overheating to prevent seizing.
  • Adjust gingerbread spice levels gradually to suit your taste.
  • Use parchment paper when setting truffles to prevent sticking and mess.
