Preparation Tips Before You Start
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for a smooth, glossy coating.
- Melt Biscoff cookie butter briefly to make it easier to combine with crumbs.
- Chill the dough properly to keep truffles firm for dipping.
- Keep hands lightly greased to prevent dough from sticking while rolling.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 32 Biscoff cookies (8.8 ounces)
- 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 10 to 12 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
Optional Decoration:
- 2 tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter, melted (for drizzling)
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. This prevents sticking and ensures easy transfer.
Step 2: Crush the Biscoff Cookies
Place all Biscoff cookies in a food processor. Pulse until fine crumbs form.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the Biscoff cookie butter for about 15 to 20 seconds until slightly melted. Add softened cream cheese and the warmed cookie butter to the food processor with the cookie crumbs. Process until a thick, even dough forms.
Step 4: Roll the Truffles
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough. Roll into smooth, 1-inch balls. Place the truffle balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Chill the Truffles
Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 1 hour, or speed up the process by freezing them for 20 minutes. This step helps them firm up, making them easier to coat in chocolate.
Step 6: Melt the White Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals, until completely smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
Step 7: Coat the Truffles
Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate. Tap off excess coating and place the coated truffles back onto the lined baking sheet.
Step 8: Chill to Set
Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the white chocolate shell to fully harden.
Optional Step 9: Drizzle with Cookie Butter
For extra decoration, melt 2 tablespoons of Biscoff cookie butter and drizzle it over the chilled truffles. Chill briefly to set the drizzle before serving.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Even though Biscoff truffles are simple to make, a few common mistakes can affect their appearance, texture, or flavor. Follow these tips to ensure perfect results every time.
1. Using Warm or Over-Softened Cream Cheese
Cream cheese should be softened, but not too warm. Overly soft cream cheese will result in dough that is too sticky to roll. Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until it’s just soft enough to blend smoothly.
2. Skipping the Chilling Step
Chilling the truffle dough is essential. Without proper chilling, the dough will be too soft to dip, and the truffles may lose their shape when coated in melted chocolate. Plan ahead to allow enough chilling time for firm, easy-to-handle truffles.
3. Overheating White Chocolate
White chocolate can easily burn or seize if overheated. Melt it in short increments in the microwave, stirring frequently, or use a double boiler for gentler heating. Overheated chocolate becomes clumpy and difficult to work with.
4. Coating Truffles While They Are Too Cold
Extremely cold truffles can cause the white chocolate coating to crack as it sets. For the smoothest finish, let the chilled truffles sit at room temperature for a few minutes before dipping them into the melted chocolate.
5. Using Low-Quality Ingredients
Since these truffles rely on just a few ingredients, each one should be high quality. Use authentic Lotus Biscoff cookies, premium cream cheese, and good-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
6. Rushing the Decoration Process
If you want to drizzle Biscoff cookie butter or another topping over the truffles, make sure the white chocolate coating is fully set first. This ensures clean, beautiful drizzles without smudging.
Side Dish Recommendations
While Biscoff truffles are a rich, indulgent dessert on their own, pairing them with complementary side dishes or beverages enhances the overall experience. Consider these options when serving Biscoff truffles at parties or gatherings.
1. Espresso or Strong Coffee
The bold flavor of espresso balances the creamy sweetness of the truffles. The warm coffee also highlights the spiced notes of Biscoff cookies.
2. Fresh Fruit Platter
A vibrant assortment of berries, apple slices, and grapes offers a refreshing contrast to the rich truffles. The bright acidity balances the buttery, creamy filling.
3. Champagne or Prosecco
Sparkling wine adds a celebratory touch and its crisp bubbles cleanse the palate between bites. This pairing works particularly well for weddings, bridal showers, or New Year’s celebrations.
4. Vanilla Ice Cream
A scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream served alongside Biscoff truffles creates a decadent dessert duo. The contrast between cold ice cream and soft truffles enhances each bite.
5. Spiced Chai Latte
Chai’s warm spices complement the cinnamon and caramel notes in the Biscoff cookies. This pairing is ideal for cozy winter gatherings.
6. Coconut Macaroons
Pairing Biscoff truffles with coconut macaroons offers a contrast of textures — creamy truffles and chewy macaroons — while keeping the flavor profile sweet and comforting.
7. Mini Cheesecakes
For a dessert buffet, serve Biscoff truffles alongside mini cheesecakes. Both desserts feature cream cheese but offer different textures and flavors, creating a well-rounded selection.
8. Salted Pretzels
For those who love sweet-and-salty combinations, salted pretzels make a fun side dish to contrast with the sweet, spiced truffles. Arrange a bowl of pretzels next to the truffles on a snack board for easy pairing.
Essential Tips for Perfect Biscoff Truffles
Even though Biscoff truffles are beginner-friendly, a few expert tips can elevate the final result. Follow these best practices for consistently smooth, flavorful, and beautifully coated truffles.
- Use full-fat cream cheese. Reduced-fat varieties can make the filling too soft and prone to cracking when coated in chocolate.
- Crush the cookies evenly. Fine, uniform crumbs ensure the dough comes together smoothly without lumps.
- Don’t skip the chilling process. Proper chilling keeps the dough firm, making it easier to roll and dip.
- Test your dipping technique. Before coating all the truffles, dip one to perfect your method. This helps you find the right balance between smooth coverage and excess chocolate.
- Use a double boiler if possible. While microwaving works for melting white chocolate, a double boiler gives you more control and reduces the risk of overheating.
For added flavor, try mixing a pinch of sea salt into the truffle dough or adding a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies over the chocolate before it sets. These small touches can make your truffles even more irresistible.
Storage Instructions
Biscoff truffles store well, making them a perfect make-ahead dessert for parties or gifts. Whether you want to enjoy them over several days or save them for a special occasion, proper storage keeps them fresh and delicious.
- Refrigerator Storage: Place the truffles in a single layer inside an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 1 week. If stacking the truffles, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Freezer Storage: Freeze the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. Store for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
- Room Temperature: Due to the cream cheese filling, these truffles should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Avoiding Condensation Issues
When removing truffles from the fridge or freezer, leave the lid slightly ajar for a few minutes to prevent condensation from forming on the chocolate coating. This small step helps keep the exterior dry and glossy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I Make Biscoff Truffles Ahead of Time?
Yes. Biscoff truffles can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freezing works well for up to 3 months.
Can I Use Milk or Dark Chocolate Instead of White Chocolate?
Absolutely. While white chocolate highlights the creamy filling, you can coat the truffles in milk chocolate or dark chocolate for a richer flavor. Be sure to use high-quality chocolate for best results.
What Is the Best Way to Melt White Chocolate?
The microwave method is quick, but a double boiler offers more control. Heat the chocolate gently and stir frequently to avoid seizing or burning.
Can I Make These Truffles Without Cream Cheese?
Yes, although cream cheese adds richness and helps bind the dough. You can substitute mascarpone for a slightly sweeter alternative or use dairy-free cream cheese for a lactose-free version.
How Do I Prevent the Chocolate Coating From Cracking?
If your truffles are too cold when dipped, the sudden temperature contrast can cause the chocolate to crack. Let the truffles sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before dipping to minimize this risk.
Can I Add Alcohol to the Truffle Dough?
Yes. For an adults-only version, add 1 tablespoon of Baileys, Kahlua, or spiced rum to the dough. If the mixture becomes too soft, add a tablespoon of extra crushed Biscoff cookies to balance the texture.
Are Biscoff Truffles Gluten-Free?
No, standard Lotus Biscoff cookies contain wheat. However, you can substitute with a gluten-free speculoos-style cookie to make gluten-free truffles.
How Long Do These Truffles Last?
Biscoff truffles last up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 3 months in the freezer.
