Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 8 oz (about 225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60 g) Biscoff spread (not the crumbs—save those for rolling)
  • 1 cup (100 g) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder
  • 1 cup (100 g) crushed Biscoff cookies (for both mixing and rolling)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften to room temperature to ensure it blends smoothly with other ingredients.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Biscoff spread, protein powder, crushed Biscoff cookies (reserve some crumbs for rolling), honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients form a homogeneous dough-like mixture.
  3. Shape the Balls: Using clean hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. This yields approximately 12–14 balls.
  4. Roll in Crumbs: Roll each protein ball in the reserved crushed Biscoff cookies to coat the outside, adding texture and extra flavor.
  5. Chill: Place the coated balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. This step helps the flavors meld and the texture set.
  6. Serve and Store: Enjoy immediately after chilling or store the balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week for a ready-to-eat protein-packed snack.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative; texture may vary slightly.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste preference.
  • Use vanilla-flavored protein powder for the best flavor; unflavored works if you prefer less sweetness.
  • Keep protein balls refrigerated to maintain texture and freshness.
  • These protein balls make a great pre/post-workout snack or an on-the-go treat.
