Preparing Biscoff Truffles
Making Biscoff Truffles is a breeze. You need just a few steps to whip up this delectable treat. The process is quick, and you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to create a homemade dessert that looks and tastes like it came from a fancy bakery. Start by gathering your ingredients, and you’ll be on your way to indulgence!
What you’ll need
- 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 1/3 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Biscoff cookie crumbs
- 12 ounces almond bark or white chocolate candy melts
- 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter (for filling and coating)
If you’re in a pinch, you can substitute the cream cheese with mascarpone for a different flavor twist, but the original is simply unbeatable!
Step-by-step instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie butter and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the crumbs: Fold in the Biscoff cookie crumbs until well combined. This will create your delicious truffle filling.
- Chill the mixture: Refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes. This helps it firm up, making it easier to shape.
- Form the truffles: Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
- Melt the coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond bark or white chocolate candy melts according to package instructions. Stir until smooth.
- Coat the truffles: Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate, making sure it’s completely coated. Use a fork to lift them out and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Finish with Biscoff: Drizzle the remaining Biscoff cookie butter over the coated truffles for an elegant touch.
- Set and serve: Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and let them set until the chocolate hardens.
Best ways to enjoy it
Biscoff Truffles are incredibly versatile when it comes to serving. For a festive touch, place them on a decorative platter and garnish with sprigs of mint or edible flowers. They also make a delightful pairing with a hot cup of coffee or a creamy chai latte. Feel free to sprinkle a few crushed Biscoff crumbs on top for extra flair!
How to store & freeze
To keep your Biscoff Truffles fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay delicious for about a week. If you want to enjoy them later, these truffles can also be frozen! Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper before placing them in a freezer bag. They’re good for up to three months in the freezer.
Extra advice
When making Biscoff Truffles, make sure your cream cheese is completely softened. This ensures a smooth filling. If you want a quicker prep, you can use a mini ice cream scoop to help form round truffles. And don’t rush the chilling time; it’s vital for achieving the right consistency!
Creative twists
Want to switch things up? Try adding a pinch of sea salt to your melted chocolate for a salted caramel effect, or roll your truffles in crushed nuts or sprinkles for texture and flavor. You could even experiment with flavored extracts, like almond or vanilla, to create a unique twist on the classic!
