Eggnog Truffles

Eggnog Truffles are no bake, holiday cookies that are delicious and easy to make. Add them to your Christmas baking list for when your oven is full!

With all of the holiday baking and cooking, I love adding a few no-bake truffle recipes to the line-up for those times when either my oven is already full or for when I don’t feel like turning the oven on. Last year, I made holiday dessert trays for my husband to deliver to his clients. I had chocolate in my slow cooker, cookies in the oven and no-bake truffles on the counter! It was a delicious mess in my kitchen. Today’s recipe for Eggnog Truffles, are and easy, bite-sized, treat that is perfect for adding to holiday cookie platter!

To make the truffles, mix together melted white chocolate chips and eggnog with crushed vanilla sandwich cookies until combined. Place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to thicken. Use a one tablespoon dough scoop to make even sized truffles. Roll the truffles between your hands to make them into smooth balls. Place on a parchment covered tray and freezer for 15 minutes. Dip the truffles into melted chocolate.

Or if you are pressed for time coat the truffles with powdered sugar instead. I made a batch coated in powdered sugar for my husband’s co-workers and they loved them!

Place the dipped truffles on a parchment covered tray and sprinkle immediately with the extra cookie crumbles before the white chocolate hardens. One the coating is set, store the truffles in the fridge in covered container.

These Eggnog Truffles are an easy, delicious, bite-sized dessert that will look great on a tray of holiday cookies. Put some of the truffles in a small mason jar or cellophane bag with a pretty ribbon and give them as a gift from the kitchen!
