How Do I Make Gingerbread Truffles? 

In a food processor, grind cookies until small crumbs are formed. 

Add cream cheese into the food processor and blend until just combined. Do not overblend or the truffles will get too soft. 

Form into balls the size of a walnut shell and chill in the fridge for an hour. 

Create a double boiler on your stove. To do this, place a pot on the stove filled with water. Bring the water to a boil. Then place a glass bowl over the pot, so that the heat from the water in the pot touches the bottom half of the glass. 

Add white chocolate and stir until melted. Dip the balls in the chocolate, using a fork to turn them. 

When done, place truffles on parchment paper. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top of each. 

Place the truffles in the fridge for at least an hour before enjoying. 

Using Your Instant Pot to Dip Your Truffles

Using your Instant Pot to melt your chocolate is so easy! Choose a bowl that is slightly larger than the rim of your Instant Pot. The bottom of the bowl should fit slightly inside the instant pot. The rim of the bowl should be slightly larger than the rim of the pot so that your bowl doesn’t fall inside.

Fill the Instant Pot with water, but make sure that it’s not so full that the water is touching the bottom of your glass bowl. Fill the bowl with chocolate chips.

Turn your Instant Pot to the NORMAL Saute setting. This will bring the water to a boil. Stir the chocolate in the bowl occasionally until it melts completely. It should take about 5-10 minutes.

Once your chocolate is melted fully, hit the CANCEL button to turn off the Saute feature. Then hit “KEEP WARM”. This will keep your chocolate melty for as long as you need! Dip the truffles according to the above tips.

How Long Can I Keep My Truffles? 

Your gingerbread truffles will last up to a week in the fridge. Make sure to store them in an airtight container. If you don’t like your chocolate to be too crunchy, make sure to take the truffles out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature before consuming.
