These creamy no-bake Biscoff truffles are a dream for anyone who loves rich cookie butter and smooth chocolate in a bite-sized treat. They are perfect for entertaining or whenever you need a decadent snack without turning on your oven. A simple process and just three ingredients make these my top choice when I want dessert in a hurry that still feels really special.
When I first made these truffles after trying Biscoff spread for the first time I could not believe such simple ingredients could taste this good. Now they are my go-to for holiday cookie plates or last minute gifts and they always disappear fast.
Ingredients
- Biscoff cookies: these add a warm spiced note and plenty of crunch look for a fresh tightly sealed pack to ensure crunchiness
- Biscoff spread: creamy sweet and packed with that classic cookie butter flavor smooth or crunchy both work but crunchy adds texture check the label for freshness
- Milk chocolate: melts into a glossy thick coating use a good quality chocolate bar or chips for best results and avoid chocolate that looks grayish from being overheated or old
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Crush the Cookies:
- Place all the Biscoff cookies into a food processor and pulse until the crumbs are very fine This helps the mixture form a dough that holds its shape later
- Mix with Biscoff Spread:
- Slightly warm the Biscoff spread in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to stir Add to the cookie crumbs then pulse again until everything sticks together into a thick paste This is the base for your truffles
- Chill the Dough:
- Scrape the dough mixture into a bowl cover it and place it in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes so it can firm up which makes rolling much easier
- Form the Truffles:
- Use your hands to roll the chilled mixture into small one inch balls aim for even sizes so they set evenly Place each ball onto a parchment lined tray
- Set in the Fridge:
- Once all balls are formed refrigerate them for about one hour until very firm This helps them keep their shape when dipped in chocolate
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Break your chocolate into pieces and add to a microwave safe bowl Heat for 30 seconds then stir Repeat until the chocolate is melted and smooth Allow to cool for about five minutes so it thickens slightly but is still runny
- Coat the Truffles:
- Take one firm truffle at a time and dip it using a fork into the melted chocolate Let excess chocolate drip off and place back onto your lined tray
- Decorate and Set:
- If you like drizzle extra chocolate across the tops for a decorative touch Let the finished truffles set at room temperature or in the fridge until the chocolate coating is hard

Biscoff spread is my absolute favorite ingredient in these because of its cozy spiced flavor. The first time I made these my nephews helped dip the truffles in chocolate and we all laughed about the chocolatey mess we made. Now it is a family tradition whenever we get together.
Storage Tips
Keep truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. You can layer them with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking. For longer storage freeze for up to two months and defrost in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
Ingredient Substitutions
Any smooth cookie butter can replace Biscoff spread but the flavor will change. For a dairy-free version use plant-based chocolate and check that your cookie butter is vegan. Dark chocolate works if you want less sweetness or to balance the cookie butter’s richness.
Serving Suggestions
Pile these truffles high on a pretty plate for a party or wrap them in small gift bags for friends and teachers. They make a lovely finish to a dinner party especially with coffee or tea. Try decorating with a pinch of cinnamon or festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets for a seasonal twist.

Turning them into a spread is a much newer invention from Belgium and has quickly become a cult favorite in Europe and beyond.
