Tips & Variations

  • Use chilled cream for easier whipping and better volume.
  • Swap cream cheese for mascarpone for a slightly richer texture.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon to the cookie crumbs for an extra warm flavor.
  • Use clear piping bags filled with cooled Biscoff spread for neat drizzles.

Storage

Store the assembled dessert cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, consume within this time. Refrain from freezing as the mousse may lose its smooth texture. Serve chilled straight from the fridge.

How to Serve

Each dessert cup is topped with a single small brown cookie, standing upright in the whipped cream, drizzled with light brown caramel sauce running down the cookie and over the cream. The cups are arranged closely together on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these dessert cups ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare them up to 3 days in advance and keep them refrigerated. This also allows the flavors to meld nicely.

What can I substitute for Biscoff spread if unavailable?

Speculoos cookie butter is the closest substitute. Alternatively, a smooth peanut butter mixed with a bit of cinnamon can imitate some of the spiced sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 plain cookies
  • 4 Lotus Biscoff cookies
  • 15 g butter, softened

Filling

  • 300 ml heavy cream
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar (approximately 90 g)
  • 250 g cream cheese
  • ½ cup Biscoff spread (cookie butter) (about 160 g)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • ½ cup heavy cream (120 ml)
  • ½ tbsp powdered sugar (about 6 g)
  • ½ tbsp whole milk powder (optional, about 4 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Garnish

  • 3 Lotus Biscoff cookies, halved
  • 2 tbsp Biscoff spread (cookie butter) (about 60 g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Choose a combination of cookies, using 4 plain and 4 Lotus Biscoff cookies, and blend them to a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. Place the crumbs into a bowl.
  2. Mix the Base: Add softened butter (15 g) to the cookie crumbs and mix until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles wet sand.
  3. Form the Base in Cups: Divide the crumb mixture evenly among 6 mini dessert cups (120 mL or 4 oz each). Do not press the crumbs down firmly; just evenly distribute them to create a loose base.
  4. Whip Cream for Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip 300 ml of heavy cream with ¾ cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside carefully to maintain texture.
  5. Blend Cream Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, beat 250 g cream cheese, ½ cup Biscoff spread, and 2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. Combine Whipped Cream and Cream Cheese: Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently using a mixer on low speed, ensuring the filling is combined but not overmixed to keep it light.
  7. Fill Dessert Cups: Spoon or pipe the filling into each dessert cup, filling almost to the top above the cookie crumb base.
  8. Prepare Whipped Topping: Whip ½ cup heavy cream, ½ tbsp powdered sugar, ½ tbsp whole milk powder (if using), and 1 tsp vanilla extract to stiff peaks.
  9. Pipe Topping: Transfer the whipped cream topping into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe decorative swirls over the filling in each dessert cup.
  10. Garnish with Cookies: Break the 3 Lotus Biscoff cookies in half and gently press one half, standing upright, into the whipped topping on each dessert cup for an elegant finish.
  11. Drizzle Biscoff Spread: Microwave 2 tbsp of Biscoff spread for 15 to 20 seconds until softened. Transfer to a small piping bag and drizzle over the tops of the dessert cups to finish.

Notes

  • Do not press down the cookie crumb base firmly; a loose base maintains a lighter texture.
  • Be careful not to overmix the filling after adding whipped cream to keep the mousse light and airy.
  • Whole milk powder in the topping is optional but adds richness and stability to the whipped cream.
  • The dessert cups can be prepared a few hours ahead and chilled to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Use a piping bag for a professional presentation of both the filling and whipped topping.
