No-Bake Biscoff Cookie Truffles

These no-bake Biscoff cookie truffles blend the warm, spiced flavor of Lotus Biscoff cookies with creamy cream cheese and a smooth white chocolate coating. They require only a few simple ingredients and no baking, making them an easy yet elegant dessert for celebrations, gift-giving, or whenever a sweet treat is needed.

Ingredients

• Cream cheese: softened for smooth blending and essential creaminess. Use full-fat for best texture
• Lotus Biscoff cookies: crushed finely to bring the signature spiced caramel flavor and perfect texture
• Biscoff cookie butter: adds richness and intensifies the cookie flavor. Warm slightly for easy mixing
• White chocolate: finely chopped for a smooth, glossy coating. Choose good quality for melting ease and flavor
• Optional additional Biscoff cookie butter: for decorating truffles with a drizzle that enhances appearance and taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Workspace:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy chilling later.

Crush the Cookies:

Place Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. This ensures a smooth truffle mixture without lumps.

Make the Dough:

Slightly warm 1/4 cup of Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds until softened but not melted. Add this to the food processor along with softened cream cheese. Pulse gently until all ingredients combine into a smooth dough. Avoid over-processing to prevent greasiness.

Shape the Truffles:

Scoop small portions of dough and roll each into roughly 1-inch balls with your hands. Arrange these evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

Chill the Truffles:

Refrigerate the shaped truffles for at least one hour or freeze for 20 minutes to make them firm enough for dipping.

Melt the White Chocolate:

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the finely chopped white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.

Dip and Coat:

Using a fork, gently dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined sheet to set.

Final Chill:

Return the dipped truffles to the fridge for about one hour to let the white chocolate harden.

Optional Decoration:

Warm 2 tablespoons of Biscoff cookie butter and either drizzle over the cooled truffles with a fork or pipe it on for a decorative finish. Chill again before serving to set.

Save Pin

My favorite ingredient is the Biscoff cookie butter which brings a nostalgic caramel spice that feels like a warm hug. I remember making batches as a gift one year with my kids happily eating the leftover dough before any got coated. That moment made this recipe feel truly special and family-friendly.

Storage Tips

Keep truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To avoid sticking, layer parchment paper between rows. For longer storage, freeze truffles in a single layer on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a freezer-safe container with parchment layers. Thaw in the fridge several hours before serving for best texture. These truffles do not require reheating. Just let sit at room temperature briefly if too firm.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap cream cheese with mascarpone for an even richer texture or dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan version. White chocolate can be replaced with high-quality milk or dark chocolate for a less sweet and more intense flavor contrast. If Biscoff cookie butter is unavailable, smooth peanut butter or almond butter with a pinch of cinnamon can be used, though the flavor will differ.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these truffles slightly chilled alongside a cup of espresso or chai latte to complement their caramelized spice notes. They also pair beautifully with fresh berries for a fresh contrast or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. For gifting, place each truffle in a mini cupcake liner inside a pretty tin and add a handwritten label for a personal touch.

Pro Tips

• Always use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth blending. Cold cream cheese creates lumps.
• Pulse rather than blend continuously to avoid overheating or greasing the dough.
• Work quickly when dipping truffles in melted chocolate, keeping the dough chilled so they hold their shape.

Commonly Asked Questions

→ What ingredients create the creamy center?

The creamy center is made from a smooth blend of spiced Biscoff cookie crumbs, softened cream cheese, and Biscoff cookie butter, creating a rich, balanced filling.

→ How should the coating be prepared for best results?

Melt high-quality white chocolate gently in short increments, stirring often for a smooth, even coating that hardens with a crisp finish.

→ Why is chilling the mixture important before coating?

Chilling firms the dough, making it easier to roll and preventing the balls from falling apart during dipping in melted chocolate.

→ Can I use alternatives to cream cheese?

Yes, mascarpone or thick dairy-free cream cheese substitutes work well to maintain moisture and structure in the truffles.

→ What’s the best way to serve these treats?

Serve slightly chilled to balance creamy filling and crisp white chocolate. They pair wonderfully with coffee or spiced beverages.

→ How can I add toppings or texture variations?

Try drizzling warmed cookie butter, sprinkling crushed cookies, flaky sea salt, or cocoa powder over the coating before it sets for extra flair.
