Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 and ½ cups of crushed vanilla wafers, 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 package of dry banana pudding mix, ¼ cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. With an electric mixer, beat until smooth and well-combined, resembling a thick dough. This takes about 3-5 minutes, and you'll know it's ready when it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  2. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place each truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they have some space between them. Once all the mixture is shaped, refrigerate the truffles for 30-45 minutes to firm up.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup of white chocolate chips or candy melts. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
  4. Carefully remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator. Using a fork or skewer, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Lift it out, gently shaking off any excess chocolate before placing it back on the parchment paper.
  5. Before the chocolate coating sets, sprinkle the top of each truffle with crushed vanilla wafers and colorful Easter sprinkles for a festive touch.
  6. Let the decorated truffles set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for faster firming.
