Cookie Butter White Chocolate Truffles

These cookie butter truffles are a rich and luscious treat that come together quickly with simple ingredients. The creamy texture and sweet cookie flavor make them a perfect bite-sized indulgence for special occasions or a cozy night in.

I whipped these up when I wanted a fuss-free dessert and they quickly became my favorite last-minute treat. The combination of cookie butter and white chocolate is truly addictive.

Ingredients

• White cake mix: that has been heat-treated to ensure it’s safe and adds texture control
• Cream cheese: softened for smooth mixing and richness that balances sweetness
• Biscoff cookie butter: brings that signature caramelized spiced flavor that elevates the truffles
• White chocolate chips: for a silky, sweet coating—choose good quality for smooth melting
• Extra melted cookie butter: for drizzling adds a beautiful finishing touch and an extra flavor layer

Instructions

Heat Treat The Cake Mix:

Spread the white cake mix in a thin layer on a microwave-safe plate. Heat it in 30-second bursts, stirring in between to distribute heat evenly. This step kills any potential bacteria and gently cooks the mix so it won&t feel raw in the truffles. Let it cool completely before proceeding.

Prepare The Truffle Mixture:

Beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy. Add in the cookie butter and mix until fully incorporated. Slowly stir in the cooled heat-treated cake mix until the mixture is uniform with no lumps. This creates a dense yet creamy base for the truffles.

Form The Truffles:

Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into smooth balls with your hands. Place each on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Take your time to get them evenly sized as this ensures they coat well and look uniform.

Chill The Truffles:

Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least one hour so the truffles firm up completely. This firmness helps them hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.

Coat In White Chocolate:

Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in short increments, stirring often to prevent burning. Use a fork or toothpick to dip each chilled truffle thoroughly in the melted chocolate. Let excess drip off before placing them back on the parchment to set.

Drizzle With Melted Cookie Butter:

Warm the cookie butter for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth and pourable. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle it over the white chocolate coated truffles for an elegant finish and to amp up the cookie butter flavor.

Set The Coating:

Allow the truffles to sit at room temperature or chill briefly until the white chocolate and cookie butter drizzle are fully set and firm to the touch.

Cookie butter is my secret ingredient here because it adds a depth of flavor that pairs beautifully with the creamy white chocolate. These truffles always remind me of cozy winter evenings sharing sweets with family.

Storage Tips

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. They stay creamy and firm but avoid room temperature storage for long stretches as the coating may soften or melt. You can freeze them for up to three months by placing them in a single layer on a tray to freeze first then transferring to a freezer-safe container.

Ingredient Swaps

Try substituting cream cheese with mascarpone for a slightly richer texture. Use milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate if preferred for coating. If you do not have cookie butter, finely crushed speculoos cookies mixed with a bit of butter can work as a close alternative.

Serving Ideas

Serve these truffles on a decorative plate sprinkled with chopped pistachios or toasted coconut for a festive touch. Pair with a cup of rich coffee or black tea to balance the sweetness. Include them in a dessert platter alongside fresh berries and dark chocolate squares for contrast.

The rich white chocolate coating with the drizzled cookie butter on the truffles visually captures just how indulgent and inviting these bites are.
