Method

1. Prepare the Balls

To start making your protein truffles, crush the digestive biscuits (or Biscoff cookies if you prefer a spiced twist) into small crumbs. You can do this by placing the biscuits in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin, or you can pulse them in a blender or food processor for a finer texture. Once crushed, transfer the crumbs into a large mixing bowl and add in the oat flour. Oat flour is easy to make by blending regular oats until they turn into a fine powder, and it adds a nice texture to the truffles.

2. Mix Everything Together

Now, it’s time to add all the wet ingredients and protein powder to your biscuit mixture. Start by adding the smooth peanut butter, Skyr yogurt, and light cream cheese. These ingredients provide the creamy, smooth texture that will bind everything together. Then, add the protein powder (I used white chocolate flavor from @myprotein), which not only boosts the protein content but also gives the truffles a rich, delicious flavor. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture is well combined, making sure that there are no dry bits left.

3. Shape the Truffles

Once the mixture is fully blended, it’s time to form the truffles. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions using a spoon or small scoop. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands, ensuring they are tightly compacted but not overly squished. Place the rolled truffles on a plate or a tray lined with greaseproof paper. After they are all shaped, refrigerate the balls for about 5 minutes to help them firm up before coating.

4. Make the Coating

While the truffles are chilling, you can prepare the coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and coconut oil. Heat the mixture in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. Once it’s mostly melted, add the white chocolate spread to the bowl and microwave for another 15-20 seconds until everything is smooth and runny. Stir until fully combined and melted, ensuring a glossy, even coating.

5. Coat the Truffles

Take each chilled truffle and carefully dip it into the melted chocolate coating. Use a spoon to coat the truffle evenly, making sure it is fully covered with the white chocolate mixture. Place the coated truffle back onto the greaseproof paper. Repeat the process with all the truffles until each one is coated in the delicious white chocolate mix. The coating will harden slightly as the truffles sit, but for a firmer texture, we’ll refrigerate them next.

6. Add the Drizzle

To make the drizzle that will give the truffles an extra touch of flavor, melt the drizzle ingredients peanut butter, chocolate spread, and coconut oil together in the microwave. Heat in short bursts, stirring between each, until the ingredients are fully melted and combined into a smooth drizzle. Once melted, carefully drizzle the mixture over the coated truffles using a spoon. You can drizzle as much or as little as you like, but a light drizzle adds a perfect finishing touch to each truffle.

7. Chill and Set

Finally, place the coated and drizzled truffles back in the refrigerator to set. Allow them to chill for at least 1 hour, or longer if you prefer a firmer texture. This step is essential as it helps the coating harden and gives the truffles the right consistency. Once they are fully set, your protein truffles are ready to be enjoyed!
