There’s something incredibly comforting about a dessert that requires no baking. Let me tell you, these Easy No-Bake Biscoff Cookie Truffles have become a beloved staple in my kitchen, especially when I’m in a pinch for a sweet treat. I remember the first time I made these decadent little bites – I had a spur-of-the-moment craving for something sweet but was too lazy to turn on the oven. That’s when I discovered the magic of Biscoff cookies! With their rich caramelized flavor, they blend into a dreamy truffle that everyone just loves.
What’s even better? These truffles are not just deliciously indulgent; they come together in no time at all. Plus, you can enjoy them without the hassle of baking or cooling. Perfect for when company drops by unexpectedly or when you’re looking for a fancy touch to your next gathering. Let’s dive into how to whip up this delightful treat!
What’s in Easy No-Bake Biscoff Cookie Truffles?
Biscoff Cookies: These crunchy cookies are the star of the show! Their unique flavor profile is sweet, buttery, and slightly spiced, making them the perfect base for these truffles. You can usually find these at most grocery stores or online.
Cream Cheese: This ingredient gives the truffles a creamy texture that makes them melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I like to use full-fat cream cheese for the richest taste, but you can use reduced-fat if you’re looking to lighten things up.
Chocolate Coating: You can use either milk chocolate or dark chocolate depending on your preference. I personally love dark chocolate for that rich contrast to the sweetness of the Biscoff, but hey, chocolate is chocolate, right?
Additional Toppings: This is where the fun begins! You can roll your truffles in crushed Biscoff cookies, cocoa powder, or even sprinkles for a pop of color. It’s all about that little personal touch!
Is Easy No-Bake Biscoff Cookie Truffles Good for You?
Now, let’s have a real talk about the health factor of these truffles. While they’re utterly delicious, I can’t pretend they’re health food. The star ingredient, Biscoff cookies, are definitely on the sugary side. However, they do have a fun, nostalgic vibe that brings joy, which is important for mental health!
On the other hand, cream cheese is a source of calcium, but it is also high in fat. If you’re looking to indulge, these bites hit the sweet spot without overdoing it. Just remember, moderation is key! Enjoy these little gems as an occasional treat and savor every bite.
Ingredients
– 200g Biscoff cookies (crushed)

*This recipe will make approximately 20 truffles.*
How to Make Easy No-Bake Biscoff Cookie Truffles?
1. Begin by crushing the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or simply place them in a ziplock bag and whack them with a rolling pin – it’s oddly satisfying!
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies and softened cream cheese. Mix them together until well blended. You want the mixture to be thick and cohesive, but pliable enough to shape.
3. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
4. Once all your truffles are rolled, place the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.
5. While they’re chilling, melt your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.
6. Remove the truffles from the freezer and dip each one into the chocolate, making sure they’re fully coated. You can use a fork to lift them out, tapping off any excess chocolate.
7. If you’d like, roll the dipped truffles in crushed Biscoff cookies or any other toppings you fancy while the chocolate is still wet.
8. Place the finished truffles back on the parchment and let them sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or place them in the fridge for a quicker set.
Truffle Tips and Tricks!
– If you’re short on time, refrigerating the unrolled mixture for about 10-15 minutes can help make it easier to shape.
– Feel free to swap the chocolate for white chocolate if you’re a fan of that flavor—it gives a lovely contrast with the cookies!
– These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (if they last that long!).
I can’t wait for you to try these No-Bake Biscoff Cookie Truffles! They’re just the right thing to satisfy any sweet tooth and are guaranteed to impress your family or friends.
