Let’s Talk Ingredients

We feel every ingredient adds to the overall taste and texture; if you remove one, it’s like you’ve removed them all.

• Cream Cheese — full-fat must be used, not half-fat or light versions; we recommend Philadelphia original or mascarpone.
• Chocolate — we use this 70% Dark Chocolate. Other good-quality brands are Ghirardelli, Guittard, Valrhona, and Callebaut.
• Cocoa — we use this cocoa powder, it’s used to coat the truffles.
• Biscoff Spread — the texture of this smooth spread is similar to that of a chocolate or peanut butter spread. Its main flavor profile is caramel and spices. The Biscoff Spread is made with only natural ingredients and is vegan-friendly.
• Biscoff Cookies — These spiced cookies, originating from Belgium and occasionally referred to as speculoos, have a unique taste of caramel and cinnamon. They are thin, crumbly, and crispy and are a combination of biscuit and coffee. Lotus Biscoffs are widely available in supermarkets worldwide and are used in this recipe by smashing them and piling them on top of the bake.

Customizations

Here are some foodie alternatives should you want to make some changes:

• Chocolate — use your favorite dairy-free chocolate. White chocolate with vanilla is a great alternative. We use Lindt because of its full flavor and creamy texture, and Callebaut is another excellent choice.
• Biscoff Spread / Cookies — substitute with your favorite biscuit spread and cookies. Great substitutes are Nutella spread or peanut butter. For cookies, Gingersnaps and Oreos are delicious alternatives or use a gluten-free option.

When substituting ingredients, it’s essential to remember that the taste, texture, and overall result of the Biscoff Truffles might differ, particularly if you’re substituting many ingredients.

Instructions – Overview

No bake Biscoff truffles are easy to make and even easier to eat. Here’s a breakdown of how to get started on your baking journey (more detailed instructions are in the recipe card):

Truffle Base:

▶︎ To start, pulse the cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine bread crumbs. Alternatively, use a ziplock bag and smash them with a rolling pin. Reserve 1-2 tbsp of biscuit crumbs for the topping and set aside for later.

▶︎ Add the cream cheese to the biscuit crumbs and pulse in the food processor until the mixture combines into a thick paste. Alternatively, mix in a bowl. Once mixed, portion the truffle mixtures using a melon scoop, or use 1.5 tsp measuring spoon. Place the truffles onto a lined tray or plate and freeze for 30 minutes.

Topping:

▶︎ In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate and Biscoff spread for 30 seconds. Mix and continue to microwave for 10-second intervals until melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.

▶︎ Remove the truffles from the freezer, then carefully dunk each truffle into the Biscoff chocolate using a fork. Coat, and let any excess drip off, then place onto a clean-lined tray.

▶︎ Dust with some sieved cocoa powder, drizzle with a small amount of Biscoff spread or any remaining chocolate mixture, or sprinkle over a few cookie crumbs!

▶︎ Refrigerate the truffles for at least an hour before eating.
