Ingredients
 
 

  • 300 g gingerbread (or cinnamon-flavored cookies)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 200 g cream cheese at room temperature
  • 300 g white chocolate finely chopped

For serving:

  • ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, crush the gingerbread (or cinnamon cookies) until they turn into fine crumbs.
  • In a bowl, combine the crushed cookies, cinnamon, ginger, and cream cheese. Mix thoroughly with your hands, wearing disposable gloves.
  • Shape the mixture into balls of 20-25 g (~1 oz) each, place them on a plate, and freeze for 10 minutes.
  • Melt the white chocolate using the double boiler method and let it cool slightly.
  • Dip the frozen truffles into the melted chocolate. Carefully lift them with a fork and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Once the chocolate has set, sprinkle the truffles with a bit of cinnamon and serve.

Notes

Chef’s tip: Let the white chocolate cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the mixture.
