Banana Pudding Easter Truffles (Printable)

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

# 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, for decoration

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the cold milk and banana pudding mix for 2 minutes until thickened.
02 - Add the softened cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
03 - Fold in the vanilla wafer crumbs until a thick dough forms.
04 - Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion and roll into 1-inch balls. Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Chill the truffle balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
06 - Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
07 - Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off, then return to the baking sheet.
08 - Immediately decorate with Easter sprinkles or colored sugar before the coating sets.
09 - Refrigerate for another 10–15 minutes until the chocolate is set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste exactly like the classic banana pudding you grew up eating, but in adorable poppable form
  • No oven required and you can make them days ahead, which is huge during holiday chaos
  • The crunch from vanilla wafer crumbs inside creates the most satisfying texture contrast
02 -
  • Warm truffles will cause your white chocolate to seize and turn grainy, so do not rush the chilling step
  • If your mixture feels too soft to roll, refrigerate the entire bowl for 15 minutes before scooping
  • Work quickly once the truffles are dipped because the sprinkles will only stick while the chocolate is still wet
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop instead of a spoon for uniform truffles that all dip and chill at the same rate
  • If your white chocolate coating looks streaky, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening while melting
