Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 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
For the Coating:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
- Food coloring (pastel colors)
For Decoration (Optional):
- Crushed vanilla wafers
- Easter sprinkles
- Colored chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, softened cream cheese, dry banana pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until a uniform dough-like mixture forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the Truffles: Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, arranging them so they do not touch. Refrigerate the truffles for 30 to 45 minutes to firm up and make them easier to coat.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until completely smooth. Add pastel food coloring to the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly if desired for a festive touch.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to fully coat. Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper.
- Decorate: While the chocolate coating is still wet, garnish the truffles with crushed vanilla wafers, Easter sprinkles, or drizzle colored chocolate over the top for added decoration and texture.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate coating to fully set at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes or refrigerate briefly to speed up the process. Once set, serve the truffles in a decorative bowl or package them in gift boxes for sharing.
Notes
- Chilling the truffle mixture before dipping helps achieve a smooth coating and prevents melting.
- You can customize the food coloring to match any holiday or event colors.
- Use high-quality white chocolate or candy melts for best texture and taste.
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor.
