Ingredients

To make approximately 20 Easy No-Bake Biscoff Truffles, you’ll need:

• 1½ cups (250g) Biscoff cookies, finely crushed
• ½ cup (125g) Biscoff spread (cookie butter)
• 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 oz (225g) good quality chocolate (milk or dark), chopped
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) coconut oil

The star ingredient is Biscoff spread, a creamy paste made from speculoos cookies with a distinctive spiced caramel flavor. Look for the authentic Lotus brand for the most recognizable taste, though generic cookie butter will also work. For the chocolate coating, selecting high-quality chocolate bars rather than chocolate chips will result in a smoother melt and better flavor. The cream cheese adds a subtle tanginess that balances the sweetness while helping to achieve that ideal truffle texture.

Pro Tips

Achieve Perfect Consistency: The secret to professional-looking Easy No-Bake Biscoff Truffles is getting the filling consistency just right. After mixing your ingredients, refrigerate the mixture for 20-30 minutes before rolling. This firms up the mixture enough to handle without being too stiff. If the mixture seems too soft even after chilling, add additional crushed cookies, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a rollable consistency.

Master the Dipping Technique: For a smooth, even chocolate coating, use a dipping fork or two regular forks to lower each truffle ball into the melted chocolate. Tap the fork gently against the bowl’s edge to remove excess chocolate, then slide the truffle onto parchment paper using a small spatula or toothpick. Keep your chocolate at the right temperature—too hot and it won’t adhere properly; too cool and it will be too thick to work with.

Create Professional Finishes: Work with cool hands when rolling the truffles, as warm hands can make the mixture sticky. For uniform sizes, use a small cookie scoop or measuring spoon to portion the mixture before rolling. To prevent your truffles from developing a “foot” (a puddle of chocolate at the base), place freshly dipped truffles on a parchment-lined cooling rack, allowing excess chocolate to drip through.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Base
Begin by placing your Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a medium-sized mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 2: Create the Truffle Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Biscoff spread, beating with an electric mixer until completely smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well incorporated. Gradually add the cookie crumbs to this mixture, folding them in until everything is evenly combined. The consistency should be similar to a thick cookie dough.

Step 3: Shape the Truffles
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the mixture. Once chilled, use a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls. Place these on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to firm up further.

Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
While the truffle centers are chilling, melt your chocolate with coconut oil. You can do this in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval, or use a double boiler for more controlled melting. The coconut oil helps create a thinner, smoother coating that sets beautifully. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping—this prevents it from melting your truffle centers.

Step 5: Dip and Decorate
Remove your chilled truffle balls from the refrigerator. Using a dipping fork or two regular forks, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, immediately sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies or a light dusting of cinnamon before the chocolate sets. Work quickly with just a few truffles at a time, keeping the rest refrigerated until ready to dip.

Step 6: Set and Store
Allow the Easy No-Bake Biscoff Truffles to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Once set, transfer to an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper.

Variations

White Chocolate Biscoff Truffles: For a stunning visual contrast and sweeter flavor profile, coat your Easy No-Bake Biscoff Truffles with white chocolate instead of milk or dark. The creamy sweetness of white chocolate beautifully complements the spiced cookie butter interior. For an elegant finish, drizzle with melted dark chocolate after the white chocolate has set.

Chocolate-Stuffed Biscoff Truffles: Create an extra decadent version by pressing a small divot into each truffle ball before the final chilling step. Place a chocolate chip or small piece of chocolate in the center, then reshape the truffle around it. When bitten into, these truffles reveal a delightful chocolate surprise in the center that adds another textural dimension.

Dairy-Free Biscoff Truffles: Adapt this recipe for those with dairy restrictions by substituting the cream cheese with dairy-free cream cheese alternative. Use dairy-free chocolate for coating, and ensure your Biscoff cookies are dairy-free (most varieties are). This variation maintains all the flavor of the original no-bake Biscoff cookie truffles while accommodating dietary needs.

Storage and Serving

These Easy No-Bake Biscoff Truffles will stay fresh for up to two weeks when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Layer them between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking and maintain their beautiful appearance. Before serving, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to soften slightly for the best flavor and texture experience.

For an elegant dessert presentation, serve these truffles on a slate board with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar. They also make a beautiful accompaniment to after-dinner coffee or tea. For gifting, place truffles in small paper cups inside a decorative box tied with ribbon, or stack them in a clear cellophane bag with a colorful bow. These truffles also freeze exceptionally well for up to three months—simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

FAQs

Can I use other cookie butters instead of Biscoff spread?
Yes! Any speculoos-style cookie butter will work in these Easy No-Bake Biscoff Truffles. You can even experiment with other spreads like Nutella or peanut butter, though this will significantly change the flavor profile.

Why did my chocolate seize or become lumpy when melting?
Chocolate typically seizes when it comes in contact with water or overheats. Ensure all your utensils are completely dry and melt the chocolate slowly, using short intervals if microwaving. Adding the coconut oil helps prevent seizing and creates a smoother consistency.

How do I get a perfectly smooth truffle surface?
For professional-looking truffles, roll the mixture between your palms until completely smooth before chilling. If your hands warm the mixture too much, briefly chill your palms with cold water, dry thoroughly, and continue rolling.

Can I make these truffles ahead of time for an event?
Absolutely! These truffles are perfect for make-ahead preparations. They can be made up to two weeks in advance and stored in the refrigerator, or frozen for up to three months if needed.

Why are my truffles too soft to roll?
If your mixture is too soft, it likely needs more crushed cookies or additional chilling time. Add crushed cookies one tablespoon at a time until you reach a workable consistency, or chill the mixture longer before attempting to roll.
