These cookie butter truffles are packed with rich flavor and come together with just a few easy ingredients. Their smooth texture and sweet cookie taste make them a great little treat for cozy nights or special moments.
I whipped these up when I wanted something quick and fuss-free. The mix of cookie butter and white chocolate is seriously addictive and quickly became a favorite.
Ingredients
- Biscoff cookie butter: adds that classic sweet spiced caramel flavor that lifts these truffles
- Extra cookie butter melted: for drizzling a tasty finishing touch
- Softened cream cheese: makes the mix smooth and creamy while balancing the sweetness
- White cake mix: heated first to keep it safe and add structure to the truffles
- White chocolate chips: pick good quality ones to melt nicely into a silky, sweet coat
Steps
- Chill The Mixture:
- Pop the truffle balls in the fridge for at least an hour so they firm up nice and hold shape when dipped.
- Melt The White Chocolate:
- Heat the white chocolates in short bursts in the microwave, stirring often so it doesn’t burn. Use a fork or toothpick to dip each cold truffle fully, letting the extra chocolate drip off before placing it back on parchment paper.
- Coat With Cookie Butter Drizzle:
- Warm up the extra cookie butter for about 20-30 seconds so it’s easy to drizzle on top. Use a spoon or piping bag to add a pretty finishing swirl and boost the flavor.
- Form The Truffles:
- Roll tablespoons of the mix into smooth balls by hand. Lay them out evenly on parchment paper to help them coat well and look neat.
- Heat Treat The Cake Mix:
- Spread the white cake mix thin on a microwave-safe dish. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between to warm it evenly. This kills any bacteria and cooks it gently so the truffles don’t taste raw. Let it cool fully before moving on.
- Mix The Base:
- Beat softened cream cheese until creamy. Fold in the cookie butter till smooth. Stir in the cooled cake mix slowly until you’ve got a smooth, dense dough with no lumps.
- Set The Coating:
- Let the coated truffles rest at room temp or chill shortly until the chocolate and drizzle have fully firmed up.
The cookie butter is my secret here. Its cozy spiced flavor pairs so well with that creamy white chocolate. These truffles make me think of chilly evenings spent sharing treats with friends and family.
Storage Tips
Keep the truffles in an airtight box in the fridge for up to a week. They stay firm and creamy but don’t leave them sitting out too long or the coating might soften or melt. You can freeze them for up to three months by placing them flat on a tray first, then moving to a freezer-safe container.
Swap Ideas
You can swap the cream cheese for mascarpone if you want it richer. Use milk chocolate chips instead of white if that’s your thing. Don’t have cookie butter? Mix crushed speculoos cookies with a bit of butter and you’re set.
Serving Ideas
Plating these truffles with chopped pistachios or toasted coconut makes them look extra special. Pair them with coffee or black tea to cut through the sweetness. You could also add them to a dessert tray with fresh berries and dark chocolate for a nice mix.
The creamy white chocolate coat with the drizzled cookie butter topping makes these truffles look as irresistible as they taste.
