Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 1 cup Biscoff cookies, crushed
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating and Toppings
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts or sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush Cookies: In a food processor, crush Biscoff cookies until they turn into fine crumbs, ensuring a smooth texture for the truffle base.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the cookie crumbs into a mixing bowl and combine with softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, thick, and uniform in consistency.
- Form Balls: Roll the cookie and cream cheese mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking tray to prepare for coating.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully smooth and melted.
- Dip Truffles: Dip each cookie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back on the tray.
- Dust with Cocoa Powder: While the chocolate coating is still wet, dust the truffles lightly with cocoa powder or roll them in cocoa for an extra layer of flavor. Optionally, sprinkle crushed nuts or sprinkles for added texture and decoration.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the coated truffles for about 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden and the flavors to meld perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure easy mixing without lumps.
- Make sure to crush the Biscoff cookies finely so the truffles have a smooth consistency.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with dark or milk chocolate depending on taste preference.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a festive touch, try decorating with colored sprinkles or shredded coconut instead of cocoa powder.
