# What You'll Need:

→ Banana Pudding Base

01 - 1 cup cold whole milk
02 - 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
03 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
04 - 1 ¾ cups vanilla wafer crumbs

→ Coating & Decoration

05 - 8 oz white chocolate or candy melts, chopped

# How-To Steps:

01 - Whisk together the cold milk and banana pudding mix in a medium bowl for 2 minutes until thickened.
02 - Beat in the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
03 - Fold in the vanilla wafer crumbs until a thick, workable dough forms.
04 - Portion the dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and roll into 1-inch balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes until firm to the touch.
06 - Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until completely smooth.
07 - Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then return to the baking sheet.
08 - Immediately sprinkle with Easter-themed decorations or colored sugar before the chocolate coating sets.
09 - Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate coating is fully set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No oven required during busy holiday prep
  • They disappear faster than any dessert Ive ever made
02 -
  • Warm truffles will fall apart in the melted chocolate so keep them in the fridge until the exact moment you dip
  • White chocolate seizes if even a drop of water gets in it so make sure your bowl and utensils are completely dry
03 -
  • Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping so it coats more evenly
  • If your kitchen is warm the chocolate might take longer to set so pop the baking sheet in the fridge for a few minutes halfway through dipping
