If you’re craving a dessert that’s both indulgent and incredibly easy to make, look no further than this Lotus Biscoff Mousse. This creamy, airy treat beautifully showcases the rich caramel flavor of Biscoff cookies and is perfect for any special occasion or a quick, satisfying sweet fix.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup Biscoff spread
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 Biscoff cookies, crushed (for topping)
Directions:
Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This creates the mousse’s light, fluffy texture.
Prepare the Biscoff Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth to ensure the flavors meld together perfectly.
Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Biscoff mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream to maintain the mousse’s airy texture.
Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving cups or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and develop its rich flavor.
Top and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies on top for a delightful crunch and additional flavor.
Serving Tips:
Presentation: For an elegant touch, serve the mousse in individual glass cups or small bowls. You can garnish with a sprig of mint or a drizzle of Biscoff spread for added visual appeal.
Chill Thoroughly: Ensure the mousse is well-chilled before serving. This helps it maintain its creamy texture and allows the flavors to fully develop. Refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, but you can keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving.
Add Texture: Just before serving, sprinkle extra crushed Biscoff cookies on top. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the caramel flavor.
Pairing: Consider pairing the mousse with fresh fruit like berries or a cup of strong coffee. The fruit’s tartness and the coffee’s bitterness complement the mousse’s sweetness.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3 days. Make sure the container is tightly sealed to prevent the mousse from absorbing any odors from the fridge.
Freezing: If you want to prepare the mousse ahead of time, you can freeze it. Spoon the mousse into airtight containers or freezer-safe bags. To enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight before serving. Note that the texture may slightly change after freezing, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
Avoid Overmixing: When storing leftovers, avoid mixing the mousse again as it can deflate and lose its airy texture. Gently fold in any separated ingredients if needed before serving.
Serve Chilled: Always serve the mousse chilled. If it’s been stored in the freezer, make sure it’s completely thawed and re-chilled in the fridge before serving.

FAQs:
Can I use a different type of cookie spread in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the Biscoff spread with other cookie or nut butters, such as Speculoos, peanut butter, or almond butter. However, this will alter the flavor of the mousse. Biscoff spread gives the mousse its distinctive caramel flavor, so if you use a different spread, you’ll get a different taste profile.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free or vegan?
To make a dairy-free or vegan version of Lotus Biscoff Mousse, use coconut cream or a dairy-free whipped topping instead of heavy whipping cream. For the Biscoff spread, ensure it’s vegan, as some brands may contain dairy. Substitute powdered sugar with a vegan alternative, if necessary.
Can I make this mousse ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the Lotus Biscoff Mousse ahead of time. Prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to set properly. Just make sure to keep it covered to prevent it from absorbing any fridge odors.
What can I do if my mousse isn’t as fluffy as I’d like?
If your mousse isn’t as fluffy as desired, it could be due to over-mixing or under-whipping the cream. Ensure you whip the cream until soft peaks form and gently fold it into the Biscoff mixture. If it’s already prepared and not as fluffy, try gently folding in a bit more whipped cream to lighten the texture, but be cautious not to deflate it further.
Conclusion:
This Lotus Biscoff Mousse is not only a treat for the taste buds but also visually appealing, making it a fantastic addition to any dessert table. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply enjoying a quiet night in, this mousse will surely impress with its luxurious texture and deliciously sweet caramel flavor. Enjoy this simple yet sophisticated dessert that brings the beloved Biscoff cookie flavor to a whole new level!
