Lotus Biscoff Dessert Cups

1. Crush the Cookies
   • Place the Lotus Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
   • If you don’t have a processor, place the cookies in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Combine with Butter
   • In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
   • This buttery crumb mixture will form the base of your dessert cups, providing a delightful crunch.
3. Assemble the Base
   • Divide the cookie mixture evenly among your dessert cups, pressing it down gently with the back of a spoon to form a compact layer.
   • Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to set while you prepare the next layer.

Step 2: Creating the Cream Cheese Layer

1. Whip the Cream
   • In a chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
   • In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
   • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to create a light and fluffy consistency.
3. Layer the Cream Cheese
   • Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture over the cookie base in each cup, filling about one-third of the cup. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 3: Adding the Lotus Biscoff Spread Layer

1. Melt the Spread
   • Slightly warm the Lotus Biscoff spread in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to make it pourable. Be careful not to overheat.
2. Pour the Spread
   • Drizzle or spoon a generous layer of the melted Biscoff spread over the cream cheese layer. Use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.
   • Return the cups to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the spread to firm up slightly.

Step 4: Garnishing the Dessert Cups

1. Add the Final Touches
   • Sprinkle a layer of crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies on top of the Biscoff spread for added texture.
   • For a decorative finish, pipe a dollop of whipped cream on top of each cup and drizzle with caramel sauce.
2. Optional Garnish Ideas
   • Add a small piece of a Lotus Biscoff cookie as a topper.
   • Lightly dust with cinnamon for a warm, spiced aroma.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

1. Chill the Dessert Cups
   • Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours to let the layers set and the flavors meld.
2. Serve and Enjoy
   • Serve the dessert cups chilled. Use a spoon to dig through the layers and savor the combination of textures and flavors in every bite.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer flavor.
• Ensure the whipped cream is cold; this helps it whip up faster and maintain stability.
• For a more intense flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture.
