Why make this recipe?

Picture this: buttery Biscoff cookies, luscious cream cheese, and a velvety drizzle of Biscoff spread all rolled into bite-sized bites of pure euphoria. These little globes of joy will whisk you away from the tedium of a Tuesday afternoon and drop you smack dab in the middle of a café in Amsterdam, sipping on something rich and dreamy. Intrigued? You should be!
How to make Biscoff Truffles
Ingredients:
- 250 g Biscoff cookies (about 1 packet)
- 250 g cream cheese (softened, about 1 block)
- 40 g rolled oats (for that perfect texture)
- 50 g Biscoff spread (because we can’t get enough!)
Directions:
-
Grab that trusty food processor of yours and toss in the 250 g of Biscoff cookies, the 250 g of softened cream cheese, and the 40 g of rolled oats. Pulse until the magic happens! Pro tip: for an even more consistent texture, feel free to send the cookies through first, then add the gooey goodness of cream cheese and oats.
-
If life has dealt you a deck without a food processor, fear not! Channel your inner rolling pin hero by crushing the cookies in a ziplock bag with a bottle of water until they resemble fine crumbs. Combine them in a bowl with cream cheese and oats, and let the magic continue!
-
Scoop a generous amount of this glorious mixture and roll it into balls using your trusty hands. If you’re working in a warm environment or the mixture seems a little too soft (it happens to the best of us), pop those babies in the fridge or freezer for 10-30 minutes to set.
-
Once they’re ready, give them a long-awaited chill in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
-
Melt 50 g of Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 10-20 seconds—just watch it, don’t let it become a volcano of molten sugar. Drizzle that divine sauce over the frozen truffle balls like you’re an artist painting a masterpiece!
-
To finish the journey, freeze for another 30 minutes to set or refrigerate for 4 hours, and boom—your passport to flavor town is complete!

How to store Biscoff Truffles
Store these delicious delights in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week—if they last that long. Honestly, your friends may devour them before the week even begins!
