HOW TO MAKE BISCOFF TRUFFLES?
Step 1: Heat cream to a gentle simmer.
Step 2: Add chocolate chips and stir till you have a smooth, thick, and glossy ganache.
Step 3: Let it sit for a few minutes, and then pour over the melted Biscoff spread.
Step 4: Transfer the Lotus Biscoff truffles mixture into a shallow bowl and refrigerate till it solidifies enough to be scoopable.
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: Slide the Biscoff truffles back into the fridge (this makes it easier to roll into balls).
Step 7: After the scoops have hardened again, roll them into smooth Biscoff balls and dip them in melted chocolate.
Step 8: Refrigerate again.
Final step: Serve!
BISCOFF TRUFFLES RECIPE NOTES
- Chocolate has to be soft and at room temperature. Cold chocolate is a pain to stir.
- Melt the Biscoff. It’s easier to mix.
- Don’t overheat the cream. No boiling or scalding. The minute you see tiny bubbles on the edge, take it off the heat.
- Use a double boiler (click the link on how to make one) to melt the chocolate. It offers better control than a microwave. If you use the latter, heat in spurts of 1 minute to avoid overheating.
- Use low heat throughout the recipe. You don’t want the chocolate to seize and the cream to separate.
- 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.
- A kitchen scale is your best friend in this recipe because the cream-to-chocolate ratio is critical to getting that heavenly, fudgy bite.
GARNISHING THESE NO-BAKE CHRISTMAS TREATS
As-is, each delicate sphere has a symphony of Biscoff and chocolate flavors concealed within. So, I assure you that you’ll love them. But if, like me, these truffles are going to be a holiday mainstay, then spruce them up.
- Drizzle some more Biscoff spread on top
- Or turn it into one of the recipes using Biscoff cookies and sprinkle/roll them in Biscoff crumbs
Just keep in mind to garnish immediately after you dip the truffles in melted chocolate. Otherwise, the crumbs will not stick.
SUBS & SWAPS FOR LOTUS TRUFFLES
Add-ins: Biscoff gives the truffles a buttery flavor and spice-laden notes. You can enhance it by mixing cinnamon powder. A splash of rum, brandy, or cognac is a fantastic way to booze up the Lotus Biscoff dessert for Christmas.
Chocolate: When you’re using so few ingredients, it’s essential to pick the best quality. That’s why I used 55% dark couverture chocolate. But it’s a personal preference. Go lighter or darker, or dip each Biscoff truffle in white chocolate—whatever appeals to your taste!
Vegan truffles: Biscoff is already vegan, so all you need to do is switch to dairy-free chocolate and coconut cream.
