Years ago while traveling (by air), I was given a snack by the flight attendant that I later found out is the much loved speculoos biscuit made in Belgium. World famous Biscoff Lotus biscuit. You know you’ve arrived as a product when the cookie flavour is sold in jars as a spread!
This recipe utilizes both the cookies and the spread. What do Biscoff cookies taste like? Think brown sugar, warm spices like cinnamon and nutneg. They are addictive and great with coffee or tea. Or for making a tiramisu with a twist!

- Quickly dip your cookies into the coffee mixture (allow excess coffee to drip off) and line the bottom of a 9″x9″ baking dish. Spread half the mascarpone mixture over the cookies.
- Dip more cookies in the coffee mixture to make a second layer and spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the cookies.
