How to Make Your Snowmen

Step 1: First thing’s first, line a baking tray with some greaseproof paper. Just set it aside for now.

Step 2: Toss the cookies into a food processor and blitz ’em until they’re fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, no worries! A rolling pin and some aggression work great.

Step 3: Dump the cookie crumbs into a big mixing bowl and spoon in the cream cheese. Get in there and mix everything together until the mixture comes together and is sticky enough to hold its shape.

Step 4: Alright, time to build! Grab about 20g of the truffle mix and roll it into a ball (that’s the body), then take around 7 grams and roll it into a smaller ball (this is the head).

Step 5: Plop the smaller ball right on top of the larger one. Boom, a snowman. Set him on your tray. Just keep doing this until all the mixture is gone.

Step 6: Shove that tray into the freezer for 20 minutes or so. You just want them to be firm.

Step 7: When you’ve got about 5 minutes left, go ahead and melt your white chocolate. A bowl over a pan of simmering water is classic, but popping it in the microwave works just as well.

Step 8: Grab the chilly snowmen from the freezer. It’s time to dunk. You can stick a toothpick in the bottom or just balance one on a fork. Drizzle that chocolate all over, letting the extra drip off.

Step 9: Put the coated truffles back on the tray. Since they’re so cold, the chocolate will set super fast. I still like to pop them back in the freezer for 5-10 minutes just to be safe.

Step 10: Now the really fun part… decorating! Tint a tiny bit of leftover white chocolate with your black and orange gels. A piping bag is great, but honestly, a toothpick works fine for piping on the little carrot nose, eyes, mouth, and buttons.

Step 11: Cut a strawberry lace to size and wrap it around the ‘neck’ for a scarf. A teeny dab of melted white chocolate acts like glue to hold it in place.

Step 12: One last trip to the freezer for 5 minutes to set everything, and then you are ready to serve!

No-Bake Snowman Truffles

Make these adorable No-Bake Snowman Truffles! They're a super easy, creamy, no-oven treat. Perfect for holiday parties and so much fun to decorate.

Prep Time 30 minutes

Additional Time 35 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

150g golden Oreo cookies (or any plain/GF biscuits work too)

60g vegan / dairy-free cream cheese
200g dairy-free white chocolate
Black food gel
Orange food gel
Strawberry laces or those candy pencils (for the scarf, obviously!)

Instructions

First, line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or just a rolling pin.

In a big bowl, mix the cookie crumbs and cream cheese together really well, until the mixture is sticky and holds its shape.

Roll about 20g of the mixture into a ball for the body, and 7g into a smaller ball for the head.

Place the head on top of the body to make a snowman shape and set it on your lined tray. Keep going until you've used all the mixture.

Put the tray in the freezer for about 20 minutes so the snowmen get nice and firm.

Just before they're ready, gently melt the white chocolate in a bowl over simmering water (or carefully in the microwave).

Take the firm snowmen out of the freezer. Dunk each one in the melted white chocolate, letting any extra drip off. A toothpick or fork works great for this.

Place the coated truffles back on the tray. Pop them in the freezer for 5-10 minutes—the chocolate will set almost instantly!

Now for the fun part: decorating! Tint a tiny bit of leftover melted chocolate with the black and orange gels. Use a toothpick or piping bag to add the orange carrot nose, black eyes, mouth, and buttons.

Cut the strawberry laces to size and wrap them around the 'neck' as a scarf. You can use a tiny dot of melted chocolate to hold it in place.

Put them back in the freezer one last time for 5 minutes to set the decorations. Then they're ready to serve!

Notes

Don't overheat the white chocolate or it'll get clumpy; take it slow and steady.
If the cookie mix feels too dry, just add another teaspoon of cream cheese.
Store these little things in an airtight container in the fridge.
