Festive no-bake truffles combining creamy banana pudding with crunchy vanilla wafers, coated in white chocolate and Easter sprinkles.

# What You'll Need:

→ Banana Pudding Base

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

→ Coating & Decoration

05 - 8 oz white chocolate or candy melts, chopped
06 - Easter-themed sprinkles or colored sugar

# Steps:

01 - Whisk together cold milk and banana pudding mix in a medium bowl for 2 minutes until thickened.
02 - Beat softened cream cheese into the pudding mixture with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
03 - Fold in vanilla wafer crumbs until a thick, moldable dough forms.
04 - Portion dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, roll into 1-inch balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Refrigerate truffle balls for at least 30 minutes until firm enough to handle.
06 - Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals until smooth.
07 - Dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then return to the baking sheet.
08 - Sprinkle Easter decorations or colored sugar onto truffles before the chocolate coating sets.
09 - Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until chocolate is completely set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste exactly like the banana pudding you remember from childhood potlucks, but in adorable poppable form
  • The no bake aspect means your oven stays free for the ham and your kitchen stays cool
02 -
  • If your truffle mixture feels too sticky to roll, chill it for 15 minutes before trying again
  • Room temperature truffles dip more smoothly than cold ones, so let them sit out for 5 minutes before coating
03 -
  • Use a fork to dip the truffles instead of your fingers, tapping gently against the bowl rim to remove excess chocolate
  • Keep a small bowl of warm water nearby to clean your dipping fork if the chocolate starts to build up
