Homemade Lotus Biscoff Spread
Homemade Lotus Biscoff Spread is a creamy, dreamy cookie butter bursting with warm, spiced caramel notes and easy to make in minutes using just a few ingredients. Ideal for toast, desserts, or straight from the spoon, it’s a nostalgic and customizable treat that brings the magic of speculoos right into your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 250 g Lotus Biscoff biscuits approximately 1 standard 8.8 oz package
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 25 g golden syrup about 1 tablespoon; can be replaced with another dark syrup or brown sugar
- 130 g evaporated milk approximately 1/2 cup
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Begin by crushing the Biscoff cookies into crumbs—this can be done either in a food processor or by placing the cookies in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin to break them up until they’re evenly crumbled.
- Transfer the crushed cookies to a food processor if you haven’t already, then add the remaining ingredients.
- Process the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy. For a chunkier, more rustic texture, blend for just 30 seconds.
- If needed, adjust the consistency by adding more Biscoff biscuits to thicken or a bit more evaporated milk to thin the spread.
- Use the finished spread as directed in your recipe.
- Store the Biscoff spread in an airtight jar and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
Notes
Keep an eye on the mixture while it’s processing. Know your preferred texture and stop the food processor once it reaches your desired consistency.
After processing, check the mixture’s consistency. If it’s too thick, add more evaporated milk and process again. If it’s too thin, add more Biscoff biscuits and re-process until you reach the right texture.
Don’t skip the salt and lemon juice! These ingredients are essential for balancing the flavor of your Lotus cookie butter spread.
Feel free to experiment by adding more cinnamon or vanilla to suit your taste. You can also try other spices like nutmeg, pumpkin spice, or cardamom for a unique twist.
