    And the ones covered in cookie crumbs like these gingerbread truffles, are almost never gluten-free.

    How to Make Gingerbread Truffles

    I'm here to remedy that. Your ingredient list is really quite simple. You will need:

    • Full-fat coconut milk
    • Dairy-free chocolate chips
    • 6-8 gluten-free/dairy-free gingersnap cookies
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Ground ginger

Perfect for the holidays!Start by heating the coconut milk in a saucepan and then stir in the chocolate chips. The chocolate chips will melt and form your decadent chocolate truffle base.

    Allow the chocolate base to chill for at least 3 hours. This is most certainly the hardest part!

    Roll the chocolate into tablespoon size or smaller balls and then roll into your cookie crumbs. Serve straight away or keep them in the refrigerator until it is time to share!

    Ingredients

    • ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
    • 1 ½ cups dairy-free chocolate chips 10 oz
    • 7-8 gluten-free/dairy-free gingersnap cookies
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger

    Instructions

    • In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes until warm. Turn off heat, keeping saucepan on burner, and stir in chocolate chips.
    • Continue to stir chocolate chips and coconut milk until all chocolate has melted. Add cinnamon and ginger, stir until evenly incorporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before placing in the refrigerator to set. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. 
    • Once chocolate mixture has set, place gingersnap cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse into crumbs. Alternatively, you can place cookies in an ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin. 
    • Place cookie crumbs onto a plate. Scoop tablespoons (or smaller) of chocolate and roll into balls. Roll balls in crumbs. Place finished truffles on a serving plate and store covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
