Chocolate Gingerbread Truffles (just three ingredients)

Ingredients

  • 270g (9½ oz) gingerbread cookies (see note 1)
  • 200g (7 oz) cream cheese
  • 200g (7 oz) chocolate (see note 2)

Instructions

  • Crush the gingerbread until it is really fine (I used a food processor, but you can put it in a bag and bash it with a rolling pin).
  • Take out about one tablespoon of the crumbs and set to one side.
  • Add the cream cheese to the remaining crumbs and stir well until everything is combined.
  • Roll up into balls of whatever size you like (see note 3).
  • Place the balls on a greaseproof lined plate or tray, and pop them in the freezer for an hour or so.
  • When they are ready, melt your chocolate. I use a Bain Marie because the chocolate melts more evenly and is smoother.
  • Dip your gingerbread balls into the chocolate until they are evenly covered.
  • Shake off any excess and place on a tray or plate lined with grease proof paper.
  • Sprinkle over some of the retained crumbs and allow the chocolate to harden. Enjoy!

Notes

 
  1. I used my own spelt gingerbread, but you can use any gingerbread (or even just regular ginger cookies) to make these. 
  2. I used dark chocolate, but you can use any kind you like.
  3. The measurements above made around 10 large (1 tablespoon) truffles and 10 smaller (1 teaspoon) truffles.
 
Disclaimer:
I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made the recipe with imperial measurements.
In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.
Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
