Step 3: Assemble the Cups
- Divide half of the crushed cookies evenly among 6–8 small dessert cups or glasses, creating the first layer.
- Spoon a layer of Lotus Biscoff spread over the cookie crumbs, spreading it gently with the back of a spoon.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the Biscoff spread, smoothing it out to create an even layer.
- Sprinkle another layer of crushed cookies over the whipped cream.
Step 4: Chill
- Repeat the layers if desired (cookie crumbs → Biscoff spread → whipped cream).
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Before serving, top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed cookies, or a dusting of cinnamon powder for extra flair.
Why This Recipe Works
- Cookie Butter Magic : The creamy, spiced Lotus Biscoff spread adds richness and ties the layers together.
- Crunchy Contrast : Crushed cookies provide texture and balance the creamy layers.
- Whipped Cream Lightness : Adds a light, airy element that complements the dense cookie butter.
Variations to Try
- Add Chocolate : Melt dark or white chocolate and drizzle it over the layers for a decadent twist.
- Switch Spreads : Use peanut butter, Nutella, or almond butter instead of Biscoff spread.
- Make It Boozy : Stir a splash of Baileys or Kahlúa into the whipped cream for an adult version.
- Layer with Fruit : Add a layer of fresh berries or banana slices for a fruity contrast.
- Mini Desserts : Use shot glasses or mini mason jars for bite-sized portions.
Tips for Success
- Use Cold Cream : Chilled heavy cream whips faster and holds its shape better.
- Crush Finely : Fine cookie crumbs create a smoother, more cohesive base.
- Storage : Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep covered to prevent the whipped cream from drying out.
Serving Suggestions
- Romantic Touch : Garnish with edible flowers or microgreens for elegance.
- Brunch Staple : Pair with coffee, tea, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
- Party Platter : Serve alongside other desserts like brownies, tarts, or macarons for variety.
