These quick and easy Gingerbread Truffles are everything you love about the classic holiday cookie in truffle form! The filling is made with spicy gingersnaps, creamy cookie butter, sugar, and spices and then dipped in decadent white chocolate!

A single bite into one of these Gingerbread Truffles delivers the perfect combination of sweet with a kick of spice! There’s no question that these bite sized treats will land a permanent spot on your holiday must-have baking list.

Since these Gingerbread Balls are no-bake it’s effortless sharing a diverse dessert with friends and family! You’ll be allowing everyone a chance to indulge in a gingerbread flavor that they may not normally make themselves.

Unlike many gingerbread truffles, these ones don’t include cream cheese. Instead this recipe uses cookie butter as the adhesive which really brings the flavor to a whole new level!

To bring another taste of gingerbread to the table look no further than my Gingerbread Cheesecake or Gingerbread Cake recipe!

Ingredients to make gingerbread truffles on a white table.

Gingerbread Truffle Ingredients 

To make the filling gather up your ground spices such as cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper. Then reach for the salt, powdered sugar, cookie butter or Biscoff spread, and your gingersnap cookies. 

RECIPE NOTE: The cinnamon and ginger can be increased for an even spicier truffle, but I would not use more than 1 teaspoon of each. My mom preferred them spicer and I preferred them with the measurements called for in the recipe card below.

The chocolate shell is made up of melted white chocolate chips paired with coconut oil. If using melting wafers or almond bark instead of the chocolate chips omit the coconut oil. 

Make them festive by picking up some holiday sprinkles to sprinkle on top of them as the chocolate coating dries!

How To Make Gingerbread Balls

Prepare your large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set it aside. Grab the gingerbread cookies and add them to your food processor and process until they turn to fine crumbs.

Then add in the spices, powdered sugar, and cookie butter to the food processor and mix together.

Once the gingerbread mixture is thoroughly combined, roll into balls using a medium cookie scoop to help portion them out.

Next, place the rolled balls onto your lined baking sheet to be chilled in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

When ready, melt together the white chocolate chips and coconut oil until smooth, and begin dipping each ball in the melted chocolate. Place the dipped gingerbread balls back onto the baking sheet, sprinkling with sprinkles if desired, then allow chocolate to harden.

Dress these truffles up to share with others by placing them individually in decorative baking cups inside small treat boxes. Tie them off to finish them up by using your favorite holiday ribbon!

Frequently Asked Questions 

Are These Gluten-Free? 

No, while you could get gluten-free gingersnaps there is still gluten in both cookie butter and Biscoff spread. 

What If I Don’t Have A Food Processor?

Just place the gingersnaps into a ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs. This can be a great job for the little bakers in your kitchen! 

Can I Use Wax Paper Instead Of Parchment Paper?

Yes, for this recipe you can. However, with baked recipes, you can’t swap the two since wax paper will melt when exposed to direct heat. 

How long are these good for?

These truffles will be good for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can these be frozen?

Yes, seal them in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

    I have mixed this by the recipe, but it is not stiff enough to roll into balls. What did I do wrong. It taste very good, but what can I do?

      Hi Linda,

      You can add more gingersnap crumbs. You can also try chilling the mixture before you portion it out into balls.

      Hi Rosina, this is biscoff spread, it looks like it’s available on Amazon in Canada but is not widely available at grocery stores. https://www.amazon.ca/Biscoff-Creamy-Spread-14-1-Ounce/dp/B01GGWBB94 It is NOT hazelnut spread. If you cannot find any cookie butter, you can substitute with 8 ounces cream cheese and an additional 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. This will give more of a Gingerbread Cheesecake flavor, but still delicious. You may also want to increase the cinnamon and ginger since you’re losing the spices from the spread.
