Delight your Easter celebrations with these creamy and crunchy Banana Pudding Easter Truffles. Made with crushed vanilla wafers, cream cheese, and banana pudding mix, these bite-sized treats are coated in colorful white chocolate and decorated with festive sprinkles, perfect for sharing or gifting during the holiday.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) banana pudding mix (dry)
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Coating:

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • Food coloring, pastel colors (optional)

For Decoration (Optional):

  • Crushed vanilla wafers
  • Easter sprinkles
  • Colored chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, softened cream cheese, banana pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, dough-like consistency forms that will hold its shape when rolled.
  2. Shape the Truffles: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place each ball evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to firm up the truffles before coating.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth. If desired, add a few drops of pastel food coloring to tint the chocolate for a festive look, stirring well to combine.
  4. Coat the Truffles: Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Decorate: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers, Easter-themed sprinkles, or drizzle colored chocolate over each truffle to add decoration and texture.
  6. Set and Serve: Let the coated truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Serve them in a decorative bowl or package in gift boxes for a charming Easter treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Chilling the truffles before dipping helps them hold their shape and prevents melting during coating.
  • White chocolate can burn easily in the microwave; heat in short intervals and stir often.
  • Customize the decorations with your favorite sprinkles or drizzle colors to match your Easter theme.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
