How to Make Biscoff Truffles
Ingredients:
- 250 g Biscoff cookies (approx. 1 packet)
- 250 g cream cheese (softened, approx. 1 block)
- 40 g rolled oats (to adjust texture)
- 50 g Biscoff spread
Directions:
- Let the adventure begin! Toss those 250 g of Biscoff cookies into a food processor. Alan Turing would be proud of your machine’s ability to crunch! Pulse until they’re a sandy dream.
- For the perfect texture, consider separating tasks: process the cookies first and then add in the cream cheese and rolled oats—voila! If a food processor isn’t handy, grab a ziplock bag, throw in the cookies, and get your rolling pin ready for some DIY action.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all of your pulverized paradise—Biscoff, cream cheese, and oats. Let your inner child take over as you scoop and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. If it feels too soft, fear not! A quick chill in the fridge or freezer will bring it back to life.
- Once they’re perfectly sphere-shaped, pop them in the freezer to set for 20-30 minutes. Patience, young grasshopper!
- Now for the grand finale: melt 50 g of Biscoff spread in the microwave, keeping an eye on it as it transforms into a silky sauce (10-20 seconds should do the trick). Drizzle this ambrosia atop your frosty truffles, and then back in the freezer they go—30 minutes to set, or alternatively, let them hang in the fridge for about 4 hours if you can resist that long!
