Ingredients
Cream Mixture
- 2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream
- ½ cup (150g) Lotus Biscoff spread
- ⅓ cup (80g) mascarpone cheese
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of Kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp confectioner’s sugar
Assembly
- 2 packages Lotus Biscoff cookies (32 cookies per package)
- ⅓ cup (80g) warmed Lotus Biscoff spread (for serving)
Instructions
- Whip the Heavy Cream: Pour 2 cups of heavy cream into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk the cream until medium peaks form, creating a light and airy base for the cookie butter cream.
- Add Cookie Butter Mixture: Add ½ cup (150g) of Lotus Biscoff spread, ⅓ cup (80g) mascarpone cheese, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, a pinch of Kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons of confectioner’s sugar to the whipped cream. Gently fold and mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Icebox Cake: Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap. Place a single layer of Lotus Biscoff cookies along the bottom of the pan. Spread a layer of the prepared cookie butter cream on top, matching the thickness of the cookie layer. Repeat layering cookies and cream until the pan is filled, ending with a final layer of cookies on top.
- Refrigerate the Cake: Loosely cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. This chilling time allows the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld together to form a deliciously creamy, cake-like texture.
- Serve: When ready to serve, unmold the cake onto a plate or tray. Drizzle with warmed Lotus Biscoff spread and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the top for a delightful crunch and enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Use plastic wrap to line the loaf pan for easy removal of the cake.
- For best results, let the cake chill for the full 24 hours.
- Warming the additional Biscoff spread slightly makes it easier to drizzle over the finished cake.
- This dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute mascarpone with cream cheese for slight tanginess but mascarpone gives the creamiest texture.
