Chocolate Lebkuchen Cherry Balls

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 40 gingersnap cookies
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 1-1/4 cups sliced almonds, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped candied orange peel
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 60 maraschino cherries, stems removed

 Directions

Place gingersnaps, cream cheese, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup almonds, orange peel and extract in a food processor; process until combined. Refrigerate until firm enough to form into balls. Pat cherries dry with paper towels. Wrap each cherry with a rounded tablespoonful of cream cheese mixture; shape into a ball. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
Chop remaining sliced almonds; set aside. In a double boiler, melt remaining chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip cherry balls in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Sprinkle balls with almonds. Place on waxed paper. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
