Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create these decadent truffles (exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

For the Truffle Filling:

• Biscoff Cookie Crumbs: 2 cups (225 grams). These cookies bring the signature caramelized flavor that makes these truffles unique.
• Biscoff Spread: 2 tbsp. This spread is key to the creamy texture and adds an extra dose of Biscoff flavor.
• Cream Cheese: 6 tbsp (85 grams). Softened cream cheese creates a luscious, smooth filling that’s easy to roll into balls.

For Decorating the Truffles:

• Gold Chocolate: 2 cups (340 grams). Gold chocolate is used to coat the truffles, giving them a stunning finish and a burst of sweetness.
• Biscoff Spread: 2 tbsp. For drizzling or dipping.
• Biscoff Crumbs: 2 tbsp. For sprinkling on top of the chocolate coating for added texture and decoration.

Variations for Biscoff Truffles

If you’re in the mood to try something a little different, here are some easy variations for your Biscoff truffles:

• Nutty Biscoff Truffles: Add finely chopped nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans to the truffle filling for added crunch.
• Dark Chocolate Coating: Swap out the gold chocolate for dark chocolate if you prefer a slightly more intense chocolate flavor.
• Biscoff & White Chocolate: You can also coat your truffles with white chocolate for a sweeter, creamy finish.
• Spiced Truffles: For an extra flavor kick, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Crush the Biscoff Cookies

Start by crushing the Biscoff cookies. You can do this by placing the cookies in a food processor and pulsing until they’re finely ground. Alternatively, you can place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

2. Prepare the Truffle Filling

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff crumbs, Biscoff spread, and softened cream cheese. Mix everything together until the ingredients are well combined and form a smooth, slightly sticky dough. If the mixture feels too soft, you can chill it in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to make it easier to roll.

3. Roll the Truffles

Once the filling has come together, use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out small portions of the mixture. Roll each portion between your hands to form a smooth ball. Aim for roughly 1-inch-sized truffles, though you can make them as large or small as you like.

4. Chill the Truffles

Place the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray, making sure they are not touching. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or until they are firm and easy to handle. This step ensures that the truffles hold their shape when dipped in the chocolate coating.

5. Melt the Gold Chocolate

While the truffles chill, it’s time to melt the gold chocolate. Break the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

6. Coat the Truffles

Once the truffles are chilled, it’s time to dip them in the gold chocolate. Using a fork or dipping tool, gently lower each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back on the parchment-lined tray.

7. Decorate the Truffles

While the chocolate coating is still soft, drizzle a bit of Biscoff spread over the top of each truffle or sprinkle some additional Biscoff crumbs for extra flavor and texture. If you’re feeling creative, you can also add a few decorative touches, like a dusting of edible gold dust or a few crushed nuts.

8. Let the Truffles Set

Once all of the truffles are coated and decorated, place the tray back in the fridge and allow them to set for another 30 minutes to 1 hour. The chocolate will firm up, and the truffles will be ready to enjoy!

Storing Biscoff Truffles
