I first made these truffles during a holiday season when I needed a quick dessert and was amazed at how impressive they looked and tasted. Now they are a regular feature in my festive dessert collection because everyone loves their rich flavor with practically no effort.

Ingredients

• Cream cheese: softened for smooth mixing and a creamy texture full-fat is best to hold shape
• Lotus Biscoff cookies: finely crushed to provide that signature spiced caramel flavor and essential cookie crunch
• Biscoff cookie butter: melted gently to blend the ingredients and enhance flavor richness
• White chocolate: chopped finely for an even melt and smooth coating use high-quality chocolate for the best texture
• Additional Biscoff cookie butter: warmed to drizzle on top for decoration and extra flavor if desired

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Workspace:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the truffles from sticking and to make cleanup easier.

Crush the Cookies:

Add Biscoff cookies to a food processor and pulse gently until they become fine crumbs. Avoid over-processing to maintain the right texture for the dough.

Make the Dough:

Warm the Biscoff cookie butter in short bursts in the microwave just until softened. Add the softened cream cheese and melted cookie butter to the food processor along with the cookie crumbs. Pulse until you have a smooth, uniform dough with no lumps.

Shape the Truffles:

Scoop small portions of the dough and roll them quickly into 1-inch balls. Place them neatly on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chill the Truffles:

Refrigerate the shaped truffles for at least one hour or freeze for 20 minutes. This step is crucial to firm the dough so the truffles hold their shape during dipping.

Melt the White Chocolate:

Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly each time until completely smooth to avoid overheating and seizing.

Dip the Truffles:

Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off gently before placing it back on the parchment paper.

Set the Coating:

Return the dipped truffles to the fridge for around one hour to allow the chocolate coating to harden perfectly.

Decorate (Optional):

Warm some Biscoff cookie butter and drizzle it over the set truffles using a piping bag or the tines of a fork. Chill once more until the drizzle is firm.

Bookmark

I love the way the cream cheese balances the sweetness, making the truffles rich yet never overwhelming. One holiday, my kids surprised me by asking to make a double batch so they could share with all their friends — that’s when I knew these truffles were a keeper.

Storage Tips

Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator with parchment sheets between layers to prevent sticking. They last well up to five days this way. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer first until firm, then layer with parchment in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving to maintain their creamy texture.

Ingredient Substitutions

Mascarpone or a thick vegan cream cheese alternative can replace regular cream cheese for those avoiding dairy, though texture will be slightly different. Milk or dark chocolate can replace white chocolate coatings for a richer, less sweet bite if preferred. Nut butters like almond butter are interesting swaps for Biscoff cookie butter but will change the flavor profile considerably.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these truffles slightly chilled so the creamy center stays firm underneath the crisp chocolate shell. They shine when paired with a strong cup of coffee, chai tea, or even spiced hot chocolate. For festivities, arrange them on tiered dessert stands or fill decorative boxes with paper liners for gifting. Fresh berries on the side add a lovely contrast.

Cultural Context

Biscoff cookies are spiced caramelized biscuits originating from Belgium, known as Speculoos. They gained international popularity for their unique flavor, often enjoyed alongside coffee across Europe. These truffles take that beloved cookie and transform it into a luxurious bite-size treat that honors traditional flavors with a modern twist.
