Ingredients
- Biscoff cookies: for that signature delicate spice flavor look for the Lotus brand for authentic taste
- Biscoff cookie butter: brings creaminess and intensity of flavor check for a smooth, thick texture
- Cream cheese: softened so it mixes in easily and gives the filling a tangy balance go for block style for best results
- White chocolate: use a good quality white chocolate bar for smooth melting avoid chips if you can for easier coating
- Extra Biscoff cookie butter (optional): for optional drizzle on top creates a pretty finish and adds more spiced cookie flavor
Step-by-Step Instructions

Biscoff cookie butter is my secret ingredient here It makes these truffles uniquely craveable because the spices remind me of holidays My favorite memory is making these for my best friend’s birthday and seeing everyone crowd around the dessert table just to get seconds
Storage Tips
Keep Biscoff truffles in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain their creamy texture and prevent the chocolate coating from becoming sticky. For longer storage freeze them in a single layer then transfer to a bag or container. Thaw in the fridge before serving for the best texture.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you are out of Biscoff cookies try using gingersnaps or graham crackers with added cinnamon but the signature flavor will not be as bold. You can swap the white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate if you prefer a richer less sweet shell. Use low fat cream cheese if you want a lighter bite but full fat yields the creamiest result.
Serving Suggestions
These truffles look beautiful nestled in mini cupcake liners which makes them easy to serve at parties. Pair them with coffee or hot chocolate for an extra treat. Add colored sprinkles or drizzle with milk chocolate to match holiday themes or gift boxes.
