Ingredients:

For the Biscoff Truffle Base:
- One (1) 8.8-ounce package (approximately 250g) Lotus Biscoff Cookies (Speculoos cookies)
- Six (6) ounces (approximately 170g) cream cheese, full-fat, softened to room temperature
- One-half (1/2) cup (approximately 120g) smooth Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter Spread
- Two (2) tablespoons (approximately 28g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- One (1) teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of fine sea salt (optional, but enhances flavor beautifully)
For the Chocolate Coating & Decoration:
- One and a half (1.5) cups (approximately 250g) milk chocolate chips or finely chopped milk chocolate (high quality recommended for best melt and flavor)
- One (1) cup (approximately 170g) white chocolate chips or finely chopped white chocolate (for drizzling, optional)
- Two (2) tablespoons (approximately 30ml) coconut oil or vegetable shortening (for easier melting and smoother coating, optional but highly recommended)
- Additional crushed Biscoff cookies (about 1/4 cup) for sprinkling
- Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling, optional, for a gourmet touch)

Equipment You’ll Need:

To embark on this delightful journey of crafting homemade Biscoff Truffles, having the right tools on hand will make the process incredibly smooth and enjoyable. You won’t need anything too specialized, but a few key items will be very helpful:

Food processor: Absolutely essential for crushing the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs quickly and efficiently. If you don’t have one, a sturdy ziploc bag and a rolling pin will work, but it will require more effort and yield a slightly coarser crumb.
Large mixing bowl: For combining all the ingredients for the truffle base.
Electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment): While you can mix by hand, an electric mixer makes light work of creaming the cream cheese and butter, ensuring a perfectly smooth and uniform base for your Biscoff Truffles.
Rubber spatula: For scraping down the sides of the bowl and folding in ingredients.
Baking sheets: Two large baking sheets, lined with parchment paper or silicone mats, will be needed for chilling the truffle mixture and then for placing the coated Biscoff Truffles.
Small cookie scoop (about 1-inch diameter or a tablespoon measure): This is excellent for portioning out the truffle mixture consistently, ensuring all your Biscoff Truffles are roughly the same size.
Double boiler setup or microwave-safe bowls: For melting the chocolate for the coating. A double boiler (a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water) provides gentle, even heat, preventing the chocolate from burning. If using a microwave, ensure you use short bursts and stir frequently.
Deep, narrow bowl or mug: Ideal for dipping the truffles, as it allows the chocolate to cover the truffle more easily without needing a huge amount of melted chocolate.
Dipping tools: A fork, a chocolate dipping tool, or even a toothpick will be useful for submerging the truffles in chocolate and lifting them out cleanly.
Small resealable bag or piping bag with a tiny hole: For drizzling the white chocolate if you choose to decorate them that way.

Preparing the Biscoff Truffle Base:

This is where the magic begins, creating the incredibly flavorful core of our Biscoff Truffles. Pay close attention to textures and temperatures to achieve the best results.

Crush the Biscoff Cookies: First things first, grab your entire package of Lotus Biscoff cookies. Transfer them to the bowl of your food processor. Pulse the cookies repeatedly until they are reduced to very fine, sand-like crumbs. It’s crucial to get them as fine as possible; any larger chunks will affect the smooth texture of your Biscoff Truffles. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a sturdy freezer bag, seal it, and crush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan until they reach a fine crumb consistency. Once crushed, set aside about 1/4 cup of these crumbs in a small bowl for later decoration; the rest will go into the truffle base.
Cream the Wet Ingredients: In your large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, smooth Biscoff cookie butter spread, and softened unsalted butter. Ensure your cream cheese and butter are truly at room temperature; this will prevent lumps and ensure a perfectly smooth, homogenous mixture. Using an electric mixer (either a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer), beat these ingredients together on medium speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and completely smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently with your rubber spatula to ensure everything is thoroughly incorporated.
Add Flavor Enhancers: To the creamed mixture, add the pure vanilla extract and, if using, a pinch of fine sea salt. The salt, even in a sweet recipe like these Biscoff Truffles, works wonders by balancing the sweetness and enhancing the deep, caramelized notes of the Biscoff. Beat for another 30 seconds until just combined.
Combine Wet and Dry: Now, add the finely crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs (reserving the 1/4 cup for later, remember!) to the wet mixture in the bowl. Start mixing on low speed with your electric mixer, gradually increasing to medium, until all the cookie crumbs are fully incorporated. The mixture will transition from a loose, crumbly consistency to a thick, uniform dough. You might need to use your spatula to finish folding it together to ensure there are no dry spots at the bottom of the bowl. The final texture should be firm enough to hold its shape but still pliable. It should feel slightly sticky but not excessively so. This is your delightful Biscoff Truffle base!

Chilling the Truffle Mixture:

This step is absolutely critical for the success of your Biscoff Truffles. Proper chilling ensures the mixture is firm enough to roll and prevents it from becoming a sticky, unmanageable mess during the shaping process.

Prepare for Chilling: Cover the bowl containing your Biscoff Truffle base tightly with plastic wrap. Ensure the plastic wrap is pressed directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent any skin from forming.
Refrigerate Thoroughly: Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 to 3 hours. For best results and to make the shaping process even easier, I often chill it overnight. The goal here is for the mixture to become very firm. When you press it with your finger, it should feel solid and not yield easily. Do not rush this step; inadequate chilling will lead to frustration when you try to roll the Biscoff Truffles. This firming up is what allows them to hold their perfect spherical shape.

Forming the Biscoff Truffles:

Once your truffle mixture is perfectly chilled, it’s time to transform that delicious base into individual, bite-sized Biscoff Truffles. Consistency in size will help them look uniform and ensure even coating.

Portion the Mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Remove the chilled Biscoff Truffle base from the refrigerator. Using a small cookie scoop (about 1-inch in diameter) or a tablespoon measure, scoop out consistent portions of the mixture. Try to make each scoop as even as possible.
Roll into Spheres: Gently roll each scooped portion between the palms of your hands to form smooth, round balls. If the mixture is too cold and hard to roll initially, let it sit out for 5-10 minutes, but no longer, as it will quickly soften. If your hands start to get too warm and the mixture becomes sticky, you can rinse your hands with cold water and dry them thoroughly, or even pop the entire tray back into the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up again. The goal is perfectly spherical Biscoff Truffles.
Arrange and Re-chill: As you form each truffle, place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Once all the Biscoff Truffles are rolled, place the baking sheet back into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This second chill is important because it firms up the exterior of the truffles, making them easier to handle and ensuring the chocolate coating adheres beautifully without melting the truffle interior. A very firm truffle will also lead to a cleaner, thinner coating of chocolate.

Preparing the Chocolate Coating:

The chocolate coating is the glamorous wrapper for your Biscoff Truffles. Melting it properly is key to a smooth, glossy finish.

Melt the Milk Chocolate: There are two main methods for melting chocolate – the double boiler or the microwave.
- Double Boiler Method (Recommended for Best Results): Place your milk chocolate chips or finely chopped milk chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Set this bowl over a saucepan containing about an inch or two of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally with a clean, dry rubber spatula as the chocolate melts. The steam will gently melt the chocolate. Once about two-thirds of the chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from the heat and continue stirring until all the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. This gentle heating prevents scorching and keeps the chocolate temper more stable.
- Microwave Method: Place the milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval. Chocolate can hold its shape even when melted, so stirring is essential to gauge its consistency. Continue until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Be extremely careful not to overheat it, as scorched chocolate is unusable.
Add Coconut Oil/Shortening (Optional but Recommended): Once your milk chocolate is completely melted and smooth, stir in the two tablespoons of coconut oil or vegetable shortening. This addition is a game-changer; it thins the chocolate slightly, making it much easier to dip the Biscoff Truffles, and helps achieve a beautifully smooth, glossy finish that sets up nicely. Stir until fully incorporated and the chocolate is uniformly fluid.
Prepare for Dipping: Transfer the melted chocolate to a deep, narrow bowl or a sturdy mug. This allows you to fully submerge the truffles with less chocolate, making the dipping process more efficient.
Melt White Chocolate (for Drizzling, Optional): If you plan to drizzle your Biscoff Truffles with white chocolate, melt the white chocolate chips using the same gentle methods as the milk chocolate. White chocolate is more prone to seizing and burning, so be extra cautious with heat. Once melted, set aside.

Coating and Decorating the Biscoff Truffles:

This is the fun part where your Biscoff Truffles truly come to life, getting their gorgeous chocolate shell and personalized adornments.

Get Ready to Dip: Retrieve your chilled Biscoff Truffles from the refrigerator. Make sure your melted milk chocolate is ready and still warm enough to be fluid (if it starts to thicken, gently rewarm it for a few seconds). Have your reserved crushed Biscoff cookies and any other sprinkles or flaky sea salt ready in small bowls. Line a fresh baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for the coated truffles.
Dip the Truffles: Using a fork, a specialized chocolate dipping tool, or even a sturdy toothpick, carefully drop one Biscoff Truffle into the melted milk chocolate, ensuring it is fully submerged.
Remove Excess Chocolate: Lift the truffle out of the chocolate. Gently tap the fork or tool against the side of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off. This creates a clean, even coating. You don’t want too thick a layer, as it can detract from the Biscoff flavor.
Place and Decorate: Carefully transfer the coated truffle to your prepared baking sheet. Work quickly! Immediately after placing each truffle, sprinkle it with your reserved crushed Biscoff cookies, flaky sea salt, or any other desired decorations while the chocolate is still wet. This ensures the toppings adhere perfectly. Repeat this process with the remaining Biscoff Truffles.
Set the Chocolate: Once all your Biscoff Truffles are coated and decorated, place the baking sheet back into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely set and firm to the touch. This firming up will give your truffles that satisfying snap when you bite into them.
Drizzle with White Chocolate (Optional): If you chose to use white chocolate for drizzling, ensure it’s still warm and fluid. If it has cooled, gently rewarm it. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small resealable bag, snip off a tiny corner, and drizzle it artfully over the set milk chocolate-coated Biscoff Truffles. You can create zigzags, straight lines, or any pattern you like. Place the truffles back into the refrigerator for a few minutes until the white chocolate drizzle is also set.

Storing Your Homemade Biscoff Truffles:

Once your exquisite Biscoff Truffles are complete, proper storage will keep them fresh and delicious for days, ensuring you can savor them or share them at your leisure.

Airtight Container is Key: Store your finished Biscoff Truffles in an airtight container. This is crucial to prevent them from drying out and to protect their delicate flavor from absorbing any refrigerator odors.
Refrigeration is Required: Due to the cream cheese in the base, these Biscoff Truffles must be stored in the refrigerator. They will keep beautifully for up to 1 week.
Serving Suggestion: While they are delicious straight from the fridge, for the absolute best flavor and texture experience, I recommend letting your Biscoff Truffles sit out at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to soften slightly, intensifying the rich, caramelized Biscoff flavor and making them even more delightful to bite into.
Freezing for Longer Storage: If you’ve made a large batch or want to enjoy these delectable Biscoff Truffles over an extended period, they freeze wonderfully! Place the set truffles in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about an hour until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe airtight container or a heavy-duty freezer bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can be frozen for up to 1-2 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Preventing Bloomed Chocolate: While not harmful, “blooming” (a grayish streaky appearance on chocolate) can sometimes occur when chocolate is subjected to drastic temperature changes. Storing your Biscoff Truffles consistently in the refrigerator and bringing them to room temperature gently will help minimize this. However, rest assured, even if your chocolate blooms a bit, the taste will still be absolutely divine!
