What does gingersnap taste like?
These cookies are flavored with — you guessed it — ginger. They often also include cinnamon, molasses, cloves, and nutmeg. They are earthy, warm, and just a little bit spicy, thanks to the added seasonings! We like to crank up the flavor in our festive truffles dessert by adding even more flavor with vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and extra ground ginger.
What Is The Difference Between Gingersnaps And Gingerbread?
These wintertime desserts are often compared as they are both made with ginger. Gingersnaps are typically baked for longer than gingerbread in order to get that crispy crunch that’s usually associated with them. Gingerbread cookies tend to be a lot chewier. That’s why we opt to use gingersnap in this truffles recipe. The texture and consistency make for a better filling!
Troubleshooting: My Truffles Are Too Soft?
You can’t skip the ever-important step of allowing your truffles to chill in the fridge before dipping them in chocolate! They should be good to go in about 30 minutes, but if too-soft truffles are a concern, you may consider allowing them to set in the freezer instead.
