 Ingredients

For the Truffle Mixture:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed

For the Coating:

• 8 oz white chocolate, melted until smooth

Optional Garnish:

• Dried banana chips
• Crushed wafer crumbs
• Dusting of cinnamon or cocoa powder

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Truffle Base

1. Add the vanilla wafers to a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed wafers, mashed bananas, and softened cream cheese.
3. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated and forms a soft, sticky dough.

Pro tip: Use super ripe bananas — the riper they are, the sweeter and more flavorful your truffles will be.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

1. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
2. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Freeze for about 15–20 minutes to help them firm up and hold their shape.

Step 3: Dip in White Chocolate

1. While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second intervals).
2. Remove the truffles from the freezer.
3. Using a fork or dipping tool, dunk each truffle into the melted white chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
4. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined tray.

Step 4: Garnish and Set

1. While the coating is still soft, gently press a banana chip on top or sprinkle crushed wafers.
2. Refrigerate the truffles for 30 minutes, or until the coating is fully set and firm.

Step 5: Serve and Store

• Serve chilled or at room temperature.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month — just let them thaw for a few minutes before serving.

Creative Serving Ideas:

• Place each truffle in a mini cupcake liner for a polished look.
• Arrange them on a dessert board with fresh fruit and cookies.
• Drizzle with melted dark chocolate for contrast.
• Add a touch of sea salt on top to balance the sweetness!
