Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 36 Biscoff cookies (approximately 11 oz), finely crushed
• 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
• 10-12 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Biscoff cookie butter (optional, for drizzle)

Instructions

Prepare the Baking Sheet:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for placing the truffles later.

Crush the Cookies:
2. Place the Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your food processor.

Mix the Dough:
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the 1/4 cup of Biscoff cookie butter for 15-20 seconds until it softens. Add the softened Biscoff cookie butter and cream cheese to the food processor with the cookie crumbs. Pulse the mixture until it forms a thick, dough-like consistency.

Shape the Truffles:
4. Scoop the dough into 1-inch portions and roll them into balls using your hands. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or in the freezer for 20 minutes, to help them firm up.

Melt the White Chocolate:
5. Before removing the truffles from the fridge, melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until it is smooth and fully melted.

Coat the Truffles:
6. Using a fork or candy-dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper.

Chill to Set:
7. Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for an additional hour or until the white chocolate coating is fully set and the truffles are firm.

Decorate (Optional):
8. Heat the 2 tablespoons of Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for 15 seconds, then stir. Drizzle the melted cookie butter over the truffles or pipe decorative lines on top. Return the truffles to the refrigerator to set the drizzle.

Serve and Enjoy:
9. Once the truffles are fully set, serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Additional Tips

1. Use a quality white chocolate: The white chocolate coating makes up a large portion of the truffle’s flavor, so make sure to use high-quality white chocolate for the best taste and texture.
2. Allow enough chilling time: Make sure to chill the truffles thoroughly before dipping in chocolate, and let them set fully after being coated. This will prevent them from losing their shape and ensure a smooth finish.
3. Customize the flavor: You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a spiced version, or drizzle with melted dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
4. Don’t skip the cookie butter drizzle: The Biscoff cookie butter drizzle adds a beautiful finish and extra layer of flavor to the truffles.
5. Store properly: Keep your truffles in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. If you’re storing them for a longer period, consider freezing them and thawing them when needed.
