Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Workspace
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Step 2: Crush the Biscoff Cookies
Pulse the 32 Biscoff cookies in a food processor until you get fine, sandy crumbs (about 15–20 seconds). No food processor? Place cookies in a zip-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin until powder-fine. The finer the crumbs, the smoother your truffles!
Step 3: Make the Truffle Dough
Warm ¼ cup Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for 15–20 seconds until pourable. Add it along with the softened cream cheese to the food processor with the cookie crumbs. Pulse until a thick, uniform dough forms – it should resemble wet sand that holds together when pressed.
Step 4: Roll the Truffles
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions (I use a small cookie scoop for uniformity) and roll between your palms into smooth 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet. You’ll get exactly 30 truffles. Chill for 1 hour in the fridge (or 20 minutes in the freezer) until firm.
Step 5: Melt the White Chocolate
Just before removing truffles from the fridge, melt the chopped white chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until completely smooth. This prevents overheating and seizing.
Step 6: Dip the Truffles
Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off. Gently tap the fork on the bowl’s edge for that perfect thin coating. Return to the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 7: Final Chill & Decorate
Refrigerate for 1 hour until the chocolate shell is set. For the signature look, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of Biscoff spread for 15 seconds and drizzle over the top using a spoon or piping bag. The contrast of creamy spread against crisp white chocolate is pure magic.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 1/4 cup of cookie butter for 15-20 seconds, then stir. Add the warmed cookie butter and the softened cream cheese to the food processor with the cookie crumbs. Pulse until fully combined into a thick dough.
- Scoop out the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place the balls on the lined baking sheet. Chill for at least 1 hour in the fridge or 20 minutes in the freezer.
- Just before removing the truffle balls from the fridge, melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Using a fork, dip each truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Shake gently to remove excess chocolate, then place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Return the baking sheet to the fridge and chill for an additional 1 hour, or until the chocolate coating is fully set.
- If desired, microwave 2 tablespoons of Biscoff cookie butter for 15 seconds, stir, and drizzle or pipe it over the truffles. Chill again to set before serving.
