What are Biscoff Truffles?

Biscoff is a very popular cookie and cookie butter spread, and for good reason! It's caramel and cinnamon like flavour make for the perfect addition to these simple truffles.

These truffles are really easy to make. There's no baking required! Just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes are required to make this biscoff dessert.

Now even though there's cream cheese in these truffles, they don't taste like cheesecake. They have that dense creamy texture of a traditional truffle that makes them so decadent. The addition of the espresso adds another depth of flavour and goes very well with the Biscoff flavour.

Ingredients You'll Need to Make This Recipe

Did I mention you only need 4 simple ingredients to make these truffles? Let's review them!

• Biscoff Cookies - obviously you need the classic Biscoff cookies, they are the base of these truffles and their flavour is unmatched. There's no substitutes here!

• Cream cheese - the cream cheese is used here to help bind the cookies together when processing. There's not enough here to make them taste like a cheesecake, but it really lends to the dense, creamy texture

• White chocolate - melted white chocolate is the perfect way to coat these truffles. The white chocolate pairs so well with Biscoff and doesn't overpower it. But white chocolate is also sweet, so if you prefer desserts on the less sweet side, you can substitute with dark chocolate.

• Biscoff spread - a drizzle of melted Biscoff spread on top adds more Biscoff flavour and makes them look beautiful.

• Espresso (optional) - A strong espresso is perfect here, it really enhances the flavour of the Biscoff and helps to bring out the caramel notes. You can also use a few tablespoons of Nescafe, dissolved in hot water.

How To Make This Recipe, Step by Step

Let's walk through the steps to make these Biscoff truffles. You start off by taking a whole package of Biscoff cookies and blitzing them into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor. If you don't have one, feel free to place them in a plastic bag and pound them the old fashioned way.

Add the cream cheese to the Biscoff crumbs and process again until a dough forms and the mixture comes away from the sides of the processor.

Once your dough has formed, mix in the espresso. Make sure the espresso has cooled completely! Alternatively you could use extra strong coffee, or Nescafe diluted in half a cup of hot water.

Transfer the dough to a bowl and add in the espresso. Mix well by hand until it is fully combined.

Get rolling! Roll the dough into a smooth ball, using about a tablespoon so they are all the same size. You will need to refrigerate them while you continue onto the next step, this will make them easier to handle.

While the truffles are setting in the fridge, melt the white chocolate. I find it easiest to microwave in 20-30 second intervals, making sure to mix in between until fully melted.

TIP: If your white chocolate is having a hard time melting down smoothly, you can add 3 tablespoons of a neutral oil like vegetable or avocado oil while melting them. This helps to smooth out the chocolate and melt easily.

Next, melt the Biscoff spread (and try not to eat the rest of the tub by the spoonful!). You don't want the spread to be warmed too much or it will be too thin and drippy to decorate with, about 30 - 45 seconds should do it.

Drizzle on the melted Biscoff spread. This gives you an extra hit of Biscoff flavour and lets everyone see the iconic caramel colour of the spread so there's no guessing what flavour these truffles are. You could also just sprinkle on some crushed Biscoff cookies.

Tip: Transfer the Biscoff spread to a small ziplock bag and cut off a small corner of the bag to make a hole. Push the spread toward the hole and drizzle the spread over the truffles, making pretty lines and squiggles.
