Baking with Biscoff

If you haven’t experienced the joy of Biscoff, you are in for a treat.

Biscoff is like the cookie version of a warm hug, and once you taste it, there’s no going back.

Now, here’s the fun part—beyond being an addictive snack straight out of the package, Biscoff is a secret weapon in baking that will elevate your sweet creations to a whole new level.

You can pulverize these cookies into crumbs and use them as a crust for cheesecakes or pie bases, adding that irresistible caramelized flavor to every bite.

But, the magic in this cake made from Biscoff comes from cookie butter.

Cookie butter basically a jar of heaven—a creamy, dreamy concoction made from ground Biscoff cookies.

Spread it on toast, dip your fruit in it, or better yet, use it as the star ingredient in frostings, like we’re doing in this recipe.

The possibilities are endless, and each one is a one-way ticket to dessert paradise.

Notes and Adaptations:

  • If you don’t have sour cream on hand, plain greek yogurt (preferably full-fat or low fat, rather than fat free) will work fine.
  • Feel free to sprinkle crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies (or any brand of speculoos cookies) over the cake if you’d like a bit of crunch.
  • To store leftovers, cover the pan well with plastic wrap (or use a pan like this one that has a lid) and store at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
