How to Make Banana Pudding Easter Truffles

Making Banana Pudding Easter Truffles is a quick joy in my busy kitchen. I love how the creamy banana pudding flavor shines through the crunchy wafer crumb. This no-bake celebratory bite helps me keep dessert fun and doable for busy days.

Step 1: Mix the dough

In my mixing bowl, I combine vanilla wafer crumbs, cream cheese, banana pudding mix, and vanilla extract. I stir until a thick, scoopable dough forms. The dough feels creamy and ready to roll.

Step 2: Chill the dough briefly

If the dough feels soft, I chill it for 10 minutes. Chilling helps it hold shape and makes rolling easier. I find it’s a small wait that saves big effort later.

Step 3: Roll into bite-sized balls

I scoop small portions with a teaspoon and roll them between my palms into bite-sized balls. If the dough sticks, I give it a quick chill. I aim for uniform size so trays look neat.

Step 4: Dip in melted white chocolate

I line a sheet with parchment. I dip each ball into melted white chocolate, turning to coat fully. I place the coated truffles back on parchment to set.

Step 5: Decorate and set

While the chocolate is still soft, I top with pastel sprinkles. Then I chill the tray until the coating is firm and glossy. I store them or package them for gifting once set.
