Oh my goodness, friends! If you haven’t tried making Biscoff Truffles yet, you are in for a treat. These little bites of joy combine the deliciously spiced flavor of Biscoff cookies with creamy goodness, making them an irresistible sweet snack. I still remember the first time I made these — I was having a cozy movie night with friends, and I wanted something fun and indulgent to enjoy. These truffles were an instant hit! Everyone kept asking for more, and I ended up making a second batch before the night was over.
What I love about this recipe is not only how simple it is but also how incredibly satisfying it is to make. With just a handful of ingredients, these truffles can easily impress friends and family. Let’s dive into this sweet adventure!
What’s in Biscoff Truffles?
Biscoff Cookies: The star ingredient here! These crunchy cookies bring that iconic caramelized flavor we all know and love. I usually go for the original Biscoff cookies, but you can have fun with speculoos-style cookies if you find them.
Cream Cheese: This adds the perfect creamy texture to the truffle filling. Don’t skip this one! Room temperature cream cheese will blend more easily, so take it out of the fridge a bit prior.
Biscoff Spread (Cookie Butter): This luscious spread is basically the magic glue that holds everything together. It’s sweet and spiced, and honestly, I could eat it straight from the jar with a spoon (but we won’t tell anyone, right?).
White Chocolate Chips: Melting these will give our truffles that beautiful coating. I recommend using good-quality white chocolate chips for the creamiest finish.
Coconut Oil: This is optional but can help thin out the chocolate for easier dipping. A little goes a long way, so if you have it on hand, go for it!
Crushed Biscoff Cookies for Garnish: A little crunch and extra flavor on top of the truffles before they set. Yum!
Is Biscoff Truffles Good for You?
Oh, let’s be honest, these truffles are more of a treat than a health food, but they do have some charm to them!
Biscoff Cookies: While they are delicious, they are also sugary. Moderation is key here; their decadent flavor will keep you satisfied with just a few!
Cream Cheese: This type of cheese does add some protein and calcium, but it is a bit calorie-dense. I find using reduced-fat cream cheese works well without sacrificing the creamy texture.
Biscoff Spread: It’s a sweet indulgence, but like all spreads, it’s best enjoyed in moderation. A little can go a long way in these truffles!
White Chocolate: Good for a sweet tooth, but definitely on the sweeter side. If you’re looking for a slightly less indulgent option, you can try using dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
Remember, sweet treats are meant to be enjoyed, so don’t feel guilty about indulging every now and then!
What You’ll Need for Biscoff Truffles
– 1 cup Biscoff cookies, crushed (about 10-12 cookies)
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup Biscoff spread (cookie butter)
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning the chocolate)
– Crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish
This recipe makes about 12-15 truffles, depending on the size of your balls (wink wink).
How to Make Biscoff Truffles?
1. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Biscoff cookies, softened cream cheese, and Biscoff spread. Mix well until fully combined and smooth. Get in there with your hands – it’s a bit sticky but so worth it!
2. Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You could even get creative and make some fun shapes if you like.
3. Freeze the truffles for about 30 minutes to firm up. Meanwhile, you can clean up or watch that Netflix show you’ve been meaning to catch up on — multitasking at its best!
4. While the truffles are freezing, melt the white chocolate chips. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If desired, stir in the coconut oil to thin the chocolate. This way, the chocolate will coat the truffles perfectly without being too thick.
5. Once the truffles are firm, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to lift them out and allowing excess chocolate to drip off. You want to avoid a chocolate puddle!
6. Return the dipped truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top for garnish. Make sure you add enough to truly impress!
7. Repeat until all truffles are coated. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
Sweet Tips for Your Biscoff Truffles!
– These delightful truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Good luck keeping them around that long, though!
– For variation, consider using milk chocolate or dark chocolate for coating instead of white chocolate. Each will give a unique twist to the flavor. You could even drizzle some chocolate on top for extra decoration!
So, there you have it! The perfect Biscoff Truffles that will dazzle your friends at any gathering. I can guarantee that once you make these, you’ll be adding them to your go-to dessert list. Enjoy every bite and don’t forget to share your truffle-making adventures; I would love to hear how they turned out!
