Passionfruit Truffles
These decadent passionfruit truffles are an easy and quick no-bake dessert made with only 3 ingredients. Using crushed biscuits is what makes these fool-proof. No need to make a ganache like traditional truffles.
Not too sweet and with the perfect amount of passionfruit, you’ll think you’re biting into a passionfruit cheesecake!
These tropical truffle balls are perfect to make during the holiday season and they’re also wonderful during summer.
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Passionfruit: The easiest way to make these passionfruit truffles is with passionfruit pulp in syrup that comes canned. Or if you can get fresh passionfruit, you’ll need 2-3 ripe passionfruits to get 3 tablespoons worth of pulp + seeds.
- Plain biscuits: In America use plain digestive biscuits. In Australia, use plain marie biscuits or arrowroot biscuits. Graham crackers may be suitable but keep in mind I have not tested this recipe using them. To make gluten-free, use their gluten-free alternatives.

Expert Tips
- Crush the biscuits to a fine crumb:Make sure there are no larger pieces of biscuits left.
- Refrigerate truffles:Once you have rolled the truffles, transfer them to the refrigerator to chill and firm up, or they’ll remain too soft.
Can I make these without a food processor?
You can! Although it might require a bit more effort for certain steps.
- Crush the biscuits to a fine crumb using a sealed plastic bag and rolling pin.
- Mix the softened, room-temperature cream cheese with passionfruit pulp in a bowl using a wooden spoon or hand mixer until well combined.
- Mix through the crushed biscuits and roll the mixture into the balls.
- Refrigerate until firm. Easy!
Storage Instructions
Store: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freeze: Lay truffles on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t touching, and freeze for 1-2 hours until firm. Once solid, transfer to labeled freezer-safe bags or containers and store for 2-3 months.
Thaw: Allow to defrost overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature until they reach the desired softness.
