Ingredients
Scale
- For the Truffles:
- 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 medium bananas)
- 1 cup vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For Coating:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, vanilla pudding mix, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold in the crushed vanilla wafers until evenly distributed.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls.
- Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 15 minutes.
- While the truffles are freezing, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place back on the parchment paper.
- Immediately sprinkle with crushed graham crackers before the chocolate sets. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
