Biscoff Truffles Ingredients
Cream: Helps create the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth ganache center. I used 25% fat cream. Full-fat cream also works well.
Chocolate: Use good-quality baking chocolate. I used 55% couverture for deep flavor. Prefer darker? Try dark chocolate Biscoff truffles with 70% chocolate.
Biscoff spread: The cookie butter is the star, adding warmth, caramel notes, and the signature Biscoff flavor.
Please see the recipe card below for full information about the ingredients and quantities.
Variations
- Biscoff gives the truffles a buttery, spiced flavor. Add ground cinnamon to increase the flavor, similar to chai-spiced truffles.
- A splash of rum, brandy, or cognac is a fantastic way to booze up the Biscoff truffle balls for Christmas, as I did with my Baileys truffles.
- Use milk chocolate for sweeter Biscoff truffles.
- Biscoff is naturally vegan! So, to make vegan Biscoff truffles, just swap cream for coconut cream and chocolate for dairy-free dark chocolate
How To Make Biscoff Truffles
Step 1: Heat cream to a gentle simmer.
Step 2: Pour the cream over the dark chocolate and melted Biscoff spread. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Stir until you have smooth, thick, and glossy ganache.
Step 4: Transfer to a shallow bowl and refrigerate until firm enough to scoop.
Step 5: Using a cookie scoop or melon baller, scoop out the truffle mixture in small portions. If you don’t either, use two spoons.
Step 6: Place the scoops back in the fridge to firm up - about 10 -15 minutes.
Step 7: After the scoops have firmed up again, roll them into smooth balls and dip them in melted chocolate.
Step 8: Refrigerate again until the chocolate sets. Serve!
Pro Tips
- A kitchen scale is your best friend in this Biscoff truffles recipe because the cream-to-chocolate ratio is critical to getting that heavenly, fudgy bite.
- Don’t overheat cream. Hot cream can split or burn chocolate.
- Melt the Biscoff. It’s easier to mix.
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. They will melt and blend easily.
- A double boiler is safest to melt the chocolate. I explain in detail how to make one in my sourdough peanut butter brownie recipe. A microwave works in 20–30-second bursts.
- Chilling the cookie butter truffles is crucial before you roll and coat them. Skip refrigeration, and you’ll have a messy, melted mixture in your hands.
How To Decorate
You can keep these truffles simple. Put them in a tin with gingerbread kiss cookies, chocolate peppermint fudge, and lemon crescent cookies, and wrap them up as a Christmas gift!
You can also dress them up like holiday stars:
- Drizzle the Biscoff truffles with Biscoff spread.
- Roll the truffles in crushed Lotus cookies. Do it immediately after you dip the truffles in melted chocolate. Otherwise, the crumbs will not stick.
- Dip in white chocolate for contrast.
- Add gold dust or sprinkles for party flair.
Recipe FAQs
