Each cupcake sits in a white paper cup and is decorated on top with small, colorful sugar sprinkles and tiny yellow cookie pieces. Surrounding the cupcakes inside the box are pastel Easter egg candies in pink, yellow, purple, green, and blue, along with thin, curly strips of pastel-colored paper grass in pink, green, yellow, and purple.

Ingredients

2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 package (3.4 oz) banana pudding mix (dry)
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
Food coloring (pastel colors)
Optional decorations: crushed vanilla wafers, Easter sprinkles, colored chocolate drizzle

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed vanilla wafers, softened cream cheese, banana pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract until a smooth dough forms.
Step 2: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth. Add food coloring if desired and stir to combine.
Step 4: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off before placing back on the parchment paper.
Step 5: Decorate the coated truffles immediately with crushed vanilla wafers, sprinkles, or drizzle with colored chocolate if you like.
Step 6: Let the truffles set at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the coating is firm. Serve in a decorative bowl or package as gifts.

Tips & Variations

For a stronger banana flavor, add a few drops of banana extract to the filling mixture.
If you don’t have vanilla wafers, graham cracker crumbs can be a good substitute with a slightly different texture.
Use colored candy melts for an easy way to create vibrant truffle coatings without food coloring.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain firmness and freshness.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before serving, let them come to room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. They can also be frozen for up to one month; thaw in the refrigerator overnight for best texture.

FAQs

Can I use homemade banana pudding instead of the dry mix?

Using homemade banana pudding will change the texture and moisture content, making the mixture softer and harder to roll. It is best to stick with the dry pudding mix for the right consistency.

How do I prevent the chocolate coating from melting too quickly?

Make sure the truffles are chilled well before dipping and work in a cool environment. After coating, let them set in the refrigerator to help the chocolate harden faster and stay firm longer.
