Ingredients
To make these irresistible white chocolate Biscoff truffles, you'll need:
- 200 g Biscoff biscuits (about 20 cookies)
- 120 g Biscoff spread (also called cookie butter)
- 200 g white chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (helps thin the chocolate for dipping)
- Biscoff crumbs (for decoration, optional but recommended)
Ingredient Tips & Substitutions
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free Biscoff-style cookies.
- If you prefer milk or dark chocolate, feel free to swap the white chocolate.
- Coconut oil can be replaced with vegetable oil or omitted if your chocolate melts smoothly.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create perfectly smooth white chocolate Biscoff truffles:
- Crush the Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Mix the crumbs thoroughly with Biscoff spread until a soft, moldable dough forms.
- Roll the mixture into small, even balls (about 1-inch diameter).
- Chill the truffles on a parchment-lined tray for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the white chocolate with coconut oil in short bursts in the microwave or over a double boiler until completely smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, coating evenly.
- Place dipped truffles back on parchment paper and sprinkle immediately with extra Biscoff crumbs.
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until the chocolate fully sets.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- If the dough feels sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes before rolling.
- Use a fork or dipping tool to lift truffles out of the chocolate for cleaner results.
- Work quickly when dipping—cold truffles help the chocolate set faster.
