Creamy banana filling with vanilla wafer crunch, dipped in white chocolate and topped with Easter sprinkles.

# What you'll need:

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

05 - 8 oz white chocolate or candy melts, chopped

06 - Easter-themed sprinkles or colored sugar

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the cold milk and banana pudding mix for 2 minutes until thickened.

02 - Add the softened cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

03 - Fold in the vanilla wafer crumbs until a thick dough forms.

04 - Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion and roll into 1-inch balls. Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

05 - Chill the truffle balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.

06 - Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

07 - Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off, then return to the baking sheet.

08 - Immediately decorate with Easter sprinkles or colored sugar before the coating sets.

09 - Refrigerate for another 10–15 minutes until the chocolate is set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Warm truffle centers will slide right off your dipping fork and make a mess in your chocolate, so do not skip the chilling step
Real white chocolate seizes if it gets even a drop of water in it, while candy melts are much more forgiving for beginners
Work quickly once you start dipping because the chocolate will begin to set up as the cold truffles cool it down

If your truffle mixture feels too sticky to roll, chill it for 15 minutes and it will become much more manageable
