Ingredients:

For the Biscoff Mousse:

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
• 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie spread (speculoos)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup milk (optional, for adjusting the texture)
• 1/4 cup crushed Biscoff cookies (for mixing into the mousse)
• 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie crumbs (for layering or garnishing)

For the Biscoff Cookie Base (Optional):

• 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookies (crushed into crumbs)
• 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, for added sweetness)

For Garnish (Optional):

• Whipped cream
• Crushed Biscoff cookies
• Caramel drizzle
• Chocolate shavings

Instructions:

1. Make the Biscoff Cookie Base (Optional):

• If you want to create a cookie base for your mousse, combine the crushed Biscoff cookies, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Stir until well combined.
• Spoon the mixture into the bottom of serving glasses or jars, pressing down lightly to form a firm base.
• Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the base to set and firm up.

2. Make the Biscoff Mousse:

• In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
• In a separate bowl, gently warm the Biscoff cookie spread in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to soften it, making it easier to fold into the mousse. You can also add a little milk to thin it out if needed.
• Gently fold the softened Biscoff spread into the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
• Fold in the crushed Biscoff cookies to add some texture to the mousse. For a smoother texture, you can skip this step or fold in just a small amount.

3. Assemble the Mousse:

• If you prepared a cookie base, spoon the Biscoff mousse over the set cookie crumbs in each glass or jar.
• If you’re serving the mousse without a base, simply spoon the mousse into individual glasses or bowls.

4. Chill the Mousse:

• Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to set and firm up. If you prefer a firmer mousse, you can chill it for longer.

5. Garnish and Serve:

• Before serving, top the mousse with whipped cream, crushed Biscoff cookies, and a drizzle of caramel sauce. You can also add chocolate shavings or a few whole Biscoff cookies for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
• Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, spiced flavor of Biscoff in every bite!

Tips:

• You can add a tablespoon of instant coffee or espresso powder to the mousse for a deeper flavor that pairs beautifully with Biscoff.
• If you prefer a lighter mousse, you can use half mascarpone or cream cheese in place of some of the heavy cream.
• For an added twist, layer the mousse with a bit of Biscoff cookie spread or caramel sauce for a more decadent dessert.

This Decadent Biscoff Mousse is a heavenly dessert, offering a rich, smooth texture with the unmistakable flavor of Biscoff cookies. It’s the perfect treat for any cookie lover!
