  • Cookie Scoop or Spoon – To portion out your truffles evenly and keep them bite-sized.
  • Baking Sheet with Parchment Paper – For setting the truffles before coating them.
  • Microwave-Safe Bowls – Perfect for melting chocolate and candy melts safely.
  • Piping Bag or Fork – For drizzling icing or chocolate neatly over each truffle.

Each tool plays a part in making the process smoother and the result more polished. With these on your countertop, you’re halfway to delicious truffle success.

Ingredients for the No-Bake Cinnamon Roll Truffles

  • Graham Crackers – The base of the truffle, giving structure and subtle sweetness with a hint of crunch.
  • Cream Cheese – Provides a smooth, creamy texture and binds the truffle mixture together.
  • Powdered Sugar – Sweetens the filling and balances the tang of the cream cheese.
  • Cinnamon – The star spice that brings warm, classic cinnamon roll flavor.
  • Vanilla Extract – Adds depth and enhances the overall taste.
  • White Chocolate & Dark Chocolate Melts – For coating and drizzling, creating a beautiful and indulgent finish.
  • Ground Nutmeg (optional) – A tiny pinch gives a nostalgic bakery touch.

Each ingredient layers into the nostalgic taste of cinnamon rolls while making the truffles easy and indulgent.


How To Make the No-Bake Cinnamon Roll Truffles

Step 1: Make the Truffle Mixture

Crush the graham crackers in a food processor until fine. Add cream cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and vanilla. Pulse until a smooth, dough-like mixture forms.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

Scoop small portions using a spoon or cookie scoop, then roll into smooth balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3: Chill the Truffles

Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for 20–30 minutes so the truffles firm up and are easier to coat.

Step 4: Dip & Drizzle

Melt your white and dark chocolate separately in microwave-safe bowls. Dip each chilled truffle in white chocolate, let it set, then drizzle with dark chocolate (or vice versa). Use a piping bag or fork for controlled drizzling.

Step 5: Let Them Set

Let the chocolate coating firm up completely before serving. If you’re in a hurry, pop them in the fridge for a few more minutes.


How to Serve and Store These Cinnamon Roll Truffles

These truffles are ideal for gifting, entertaining, or storing as a just-for-you treat. Serve them slightly chilled on a dessert board, or package them in mini cupcake liners for a polished presentation. They pair beautifully with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.

To store: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer and thaw as needed—they’re just as good a week later!


Frequently Asked Questions

What type of graham crackers should I use?

Honey graham crackers work best for a sweet cinnamon roll vibe, but cinnamon or chocolate ones add a fun twist.

Can I make these truffles dairy-free?

Yes! Use a dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate alternative.

Do I have to use a food processor?

It helps a lot with texture, but you can crush graham crackers in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin and mix by hand.

Use a piping bag with a small tip or a fork dipped in chocolate and flicked over the truffles in quick motions.
