How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake Protein Balls

To begin, gather all your ingredients and prepare to create your new favorite snack!

Ingredients

1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (*)
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar of choice (** (can use granulated monk fruit sweetener))
3 Tbsp cream cheese of choice (*** ((about 1.5 oz)))
2 Biscoff cookies, crushed
1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted ((Optional))

Directions

First, I mix all ingredients together in a bowl, except for the white chocolate. I really get in there and knead everything until a cohesive dough forms. If my dough feels too soft, I add a little more coconut flour, about a teaspoon at a time. If it’s too thick or dry, I’ll add a teaspoon or more of water or almond milk until it reaches the perfect consistency.

Next, I roll the batter into tablespoon-sized balls. I try to roll them gently but firmly to ensure they hold their shape. Once all the balls are formed, I refrigerate them for about 15 minutes to help them set. This step is key for a firm texture.

This step is optional, but it really elevates the experience! I melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well in between each burst until it’s completely smooth and glossy. Then, I dip each protein ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. I place the chocolate-dipped balls on a clean parchment paper-lined surface and immediately sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs on top before the chocolate sets.
