INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:

• 1/2 cup Biscoff spread
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake Protein Balls:

Whipping up these Biscoff Cheesecake Protein Balls is as easy as it is rewarding. Whether you’re new to protein ball recipes or a seasoned snacker, this one’s bound to become a favorite.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Cream the Base
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff spread and softened cream cheese. Use a silicone spatula or electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy. This is the base that gives your bites that luscious, cheesecake-like texture.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in the vanilla protein powder, almond flour, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated. The dough should start coming together—it’ll be thick but pliable.

Step 3: Sweeten It Up
Drizzle in the maple syrup and stir again. Taste the dough at this point. Depending on your protein powder’s sweetness, you can add a touch more syrup or Biscoff spread for extra indulgence.

Step 4: Chill the Dough
Place the dough in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes. This firms it up, making rolling easier.

Step 5: Roll into Balls
Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts and roll between your palms to form balls. If desired, roll each ball in crushed Biscoff cookies for a little crunch and extra flair.

Step 6: Store and Snack
Transfer the balls to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months. Enjoy straight from the fridge for the best texture.

HELPFUL TIPS:

• Protein Powder Texture Matters: Use a fine, smooth protein powder (like whey or plant-based blends) for the best consistency.
• Sweetness Adjustments: Depending on your protein powder, you may want to adjust the maple syrup slightly.
• Get Creative: Add mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, or even a dash of espresso powder for extra flavor layers.
• Warm Hands? If the dough is sticky when rolling, lightly dampen your hands or chill the dough again for 10 more minutes.
