What You’ll Need
- Biscoff cookies: 1 cup (crushed, yes, finely crushed is key for that smooth texture)
- Cream cheese: 4 oz (make sure it’s softened; it makes everything easier)
- Powdered sugar: 1 cup (this adds that lovely sweetness without the grittiness)
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon (trust me, it elevates the flavors)
- Chocolate (for coating): 8 oz (melted; you can use whatever chocolate you fancy)
- Sea salt: a pinch (if you like that sweet and salty combo)
Easy How-To
Get Rolling on Those Truffles
Okay, so first things first—gather all your ingredients… it’s always a bit chaotic in the kitchen at my place, but, hey, that’s part of the fun, right? Start by crushing the Biscoff cookies; you can toss them in a food processor or throw them in a ziplock bag and give them a good whack with a rolling pin. It’s good stress relief! Then, in a bowl, mix those lovely cookie crumbs with the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until it’s all blended beautifully into a dough. It should be kind of sticky but manageable. Once you have your dough, roll it into small balls—about an inch, give or take. Lay them out on a lined baking sheet. Just try not to eat all the dough before you get them to the fridge. Seriously, I’m warning you!
Good to Know
- Letting the cream cheese soften is a game-changer—it just mixes so much better!
- If you have leftover chocolate, drizzle it on top of your truffles for a pretty presentation.
- Store these in an airtight container… if they last that long, that is!
Serving Ideas
- Serve them on a cute platter with some fresh berries or maybe a little bit of whipped cream on the side—fancy, but not too fancy!
Top Tricks
- If you’re feeling adventurous, try rolling some of the truffles in crushed nuts or sprinkles for a fun twist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cookie?

How long do these truffles last?
They should stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to about a week—if they last that long! I’ve seen them disappear way quicker…
Can I freeze the truffles?
Yes! They can be frozen for up to three months. Just make sure they’re in a good, airtight container so they don’t get freezer burn.

You could go for other cookie spreads or nut butters, but keep in mind that flavors will be different. Sometimes change is good, right?
Can I add nuts or other fillings?
