3 Ingredient Vegan Biscoff Chocolates

A dream combination of flavours, with just three ingredients. Biscoff and chocolate together is a match made in heaven: the sweet spiced flavour of the biscoff lotus biscuits, paired with the rich taste of dark chocolate. I love making these vegan biscoff chocolates around the festive season as they make the perfect vegan gifts.

The 3 key ingredients are:

• Biscoff biscuits

• Biscoff spread

• Dark chocolate

Start this recipe by blending the lotus biscuits food processor into a fine sand. Then add the and biscoff spread and keep blending until you get a sandy paste. Remove from the food processor into a bowl. Set this in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes, until it has firmed up. We want the mixture to be firm enough that you can roll into balls.

Now that the spread is set, start rolling the biscoff mix into balls. You can make your chocolates any size you like, but I suggest approximately a tablespoon scoop for each.

A trick to make it easier to roll the balls, without your hands warming the mixture up or getting overly sticky, is to wet your hands first in cold water. The water will create a barrier between your hands and the mixture, while the cold will stop your hands from warming the mixture too much. If midway through making your biscoff balls the mixture has warmed up too much, simply set in the fridge again for another 10-15 minutes and carry on.

Lay each ball on a sheet of baking paper, or a silicone sheet, and set in the freezer for 30 minutes, until hard.

Now it’s time to add the chocolate! Melt the chocolate in the microwave in bursts (or over a pan of boiling water), until totally melted. Using two forks, dip each ball into the melted chocolate (coating on all sides), lift out of the melted chocolate, gently tap on the sides allowing any drips to drizzle off. Set back on the baking paper. Remember that these are homemade chocolates, and so uneven sizes or chocolate spilling out underneath is all part of the charm.

When the chocolate is nearly set, sprinkle a little optional sea salt on top. I really recommend this step, as it’ll bring out the flavours even more! Leave in the fridge to set for a further 30 minutes. Take out of the fridge and enjoy!
