WHAT IS BISCOFF?
Biscoff spread, made by the brand Lotus, is also known as cookie butter and speculoos. It has a deep caramel flavour and a hint of cinnamon and other spices. Lotus are best known for their biscuits, which are commonly served with coffee. The biscuits are used to make the spread, and you can buy it in crunchy and smooth varieties. The spread is similar to Nutella or peanut butter in terms of texture, but it has a unique flavour. It’s also naturally vegan.
WHAT SIZE TIN DO YOU NEED FOR THIS RECIPE?
You will need an 8″ springform tin that is at least 2.75″ deep for the cookie pie. I greased the sides lightly with baking spread, and lined the base with a circle of baking paper before adding the cookie dough. If you aren’t using a springform tin, you may want to line the sides of the tin with overhanging baking paper as well to make the the cookie pie easier to remove from the tin.
HOW SHOULD THE COOKIE PIE STORED AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
The cookie pie can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days (if it lasts that long!)
CAN THE COOKIE PIE BE FROZEN?
Yes, you can freeze it with out without the decoration. Wrap slices in cling film, place them in freezer bags or airtight containers and freeze for up to three months.
CAN THIS RECIPE BE MADE GLUTEN FREE?
Yes, to make a gluten free cookie pie replace the plain flour with a gluten free plain flour blend. You may also like to add ½ tsp xanthan gum for better texture. Unfortunately Biscoff spread and Biscoff biscuits are not gluten free, so you will need to use something different for the filling. Please also make sure to check the labels of everything you use if serving to anyone with an allergy or intolerance.
