HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE VEGAN BISCOFF CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES:

You will find the instructions and ingredients list in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Making this Vegan Biscoff Chocolate Truffles is easy and comes with 4 following steps:

1. Step: Make the dark chocolate ganache

Fill a ¾ of a small pot with water and bring to boil. Cut dark chocolate bar into little pieces and put into a medium-sized glass bowl. Place the bowl on the pot, turn off the heat, and let the chocolate melt completely. Stir a few times with a spoon. Once melted, set aside.

Then, while stirring the chocolate, slowly add unsweetened almond milk (don’t add everything at once). Stir until combined into a smooth ganache. Add maple syrup, rum, and a pinch of salt and stir again until completely combined.

2. Step: Let the ganache chill in the fridge

Place the glass bowl with the ganache into the fridge for about 2 hours until it thickens.

3. Step: Ground the Biscoff cookies

Meanwhile, the ganache is chilling in the fridge, put all the Biscoff cookies in a blender and pulse until they are finely ground. You can also place the cookies into a ziplock bag and smash them with a rolling pin until finely crushed and there are no big pieces left.

Take 40g of ground Biscoff, put it in a small bowl, and set aside. The rest (95g) will be added to the ganache.

4. Step: Combine and make truffles

After the ganache has cooled, take it off the fridge and stir it a few times. Add 95g of ground Biscoff cookies and mix with a spoon until all combine. The mixture will be a little sticky.

Take the silicone gloves and roll the mixture into 18 little balls in your hands. 1 ball should weigh around 12 grams. I use a digital kitchen scale before rolling each truffle to make sure they are all even.

Then roll every truffle in the small bowl with 40g of ground Biscoff cookies.
