Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Truffle Filling:

  1. Crush the Cookies: Place the Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Alternatively, crush them in a resealable bag using a rolling pin.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the Biscoff spread, cookie crumbs, and powdered sugar. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a cohesive dough.
  3. Shape the Truffles: Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls using your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill the Truffles:

  1. Refrigerate: Transfer the tray of truffle balls to the refrigerator and chill for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.

Coat the Truffles:

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for a smoother coating.
  2. Dip the Truffles: Using a fork or a dipping tool, carefully dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Decorate and Set:

  1. Add Toppings: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle the truffles with crushed Biscoff cookies, drizzle with additional chocolate, or add sprinkles.
  2. Set the Coating: Allow the truffles to sit at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 20 minutes, until the chocolate coating has fully hardened.

Additional Tips

  • Chill for Easy Coating: Ensuring the truffle centers are firm makes dipping them in chocolate much easier.
  • Work in Batches: If the truffle centers start to soften while coating, return them to the fridge for a few minutes.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or sea salt to the filling for an extra flavor boost.
  • Avoid Overheating the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate gently to prevent seizing or burning.
