- Add the cream cheese, molasses, and spices. Pulse until well combined.6 ounces cream cheese, 2 Tablespoons molasses, 3 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Portion out mounds of dough using a small 1-tablespoon cookie scoop. Place the balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for two hours or until solid.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment until smooth.TIP - It's best to microwave the chips until they're almost melted, stirring after each 30-second interval. The chocolate will continue to melt after it is removed from the microwave.16 ounces white chocolate chips
- Place a frozen truffle ball onto the edge of a fork and dip it into the melted white chocolate, tapping the edge of the fork against the bowl to remove any excess melted chocolate.
- Place the coated truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining truffle balls.
- Reheat the remaining white chocolate and pour it into a pastry bag. Snip a small hole at the end of the pastry bag and drizzle the melted chocolate over the truffles. Before the drizzle sets, immediately place a gingerbread man sprinkle on top of it.
- The truffles are ready to enjoy when the drizzle has hardened.
Notes
- Working with a frozen truffle ball makes dipping easier. The dough is less likely to fall apart when submerged in the chocolate. Also, the truffle dries quicker with a smoother coating when done this way.
- The chocolate may have started to harden in the pastry bag when drizzling (especially at the tip). To solve this, place the pastry bag in a measuring cup of hot water to melt the chocolate again. Then, squeeze the end of the tip to remove any built-up chocolate, and continue drizzling as before.
