# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No oven required so you save that precious baking energy for other dishes
  • The combination of creamy pudding and crunchy wafers feels like classic banana pudding but in poppable form
02 -
  • Warm truffles will slide right off your dipping fork so keep them in the refrigerator until the exact moment you are ready to dip
  • Work quickly once the chocolate is melted because it thickens as it cools and becomes harder to coat evenly
03 -
  • Let the cream cheese sit on the counter for a full hour before starting to avoid any tiny lumps in your mixture
  • Crush the vanilla wafers in a food processor for fine crumbs or by hand for a more rustic texture with some larger pieces
