Ingredients
For Gingerbread truffle
- 500 grams Gingersnap Cookies
- ½ cup Cocoa powder
- ½ cup pecan Roughly crushed ( reserved more for garnishing)
- .5 Tablespoon Ginger powder
- 1 Teaspoon Instant Coffee powder
- ⅓ cup Creame Chesse (see notes)
- Big Pinch of salt
For Chocolate Coating
- 150 gms good quality dark chocolate
Instructions
- Mix everything mentioned under Gingerbread truffle. When you pinch the mixture in between your finger if it comes together, then it is the right consistency.
- Scoop a tablespoon of mixture and make a smooth tight ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
- Rest the shaped balls in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- And the end of the resting period, chop chocolate into small chunks. Using a double boiler or microwave melt the chocolate.
- Remove the shaped balls from the refrigerator. While still cold dip each ball in melting chocolate using a slotted spoon. Shake off extra chocolate and place on a parchment paper.
- Sprinkle remaining crushed pecan on the top, when still wet.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Start with 1/4th cup cream cheese and increase a tablespoon each until you reach the desired consistency. The amount of cream cheese required depends on the type of cookies you use.
- These truffles were of right sweetness for us, so I didn't add any sweetener. If you want you can add honey or sugar.
