I have to admit, both Spouse and I are a little Biscoff obsessed! Theres just something about those simple little speculoos cookies that’s uncomplicated perfection.

I seem to remember first tasing them years ago as in flight snacks during some of our travels. Unless I miss my guess,  I think it was Delta airlines that had  specially made larger versions for their in flight service.

I found out later that those airline larger versions are available but I have not seen them locally yet. Must look harder!

What are speculoos cookies.

Internet research describes them as  a thin, crunchy, caramelized shortcrust biscuit originating from Belgium and the Netherlands.

Famous for its warm, slightly spiced flavor—often compared to gingerbread—it is heavily associated with the Christmas and St. Nicholas holiday seasons.

Finish these layers with the last of the cookies before adding the whipped cream and garnishing with chopped chocolate and/or biscoff cookie chunks.

They are almost always in hand now in our pantry. They are a favourite of ours with an afternoon coffee or steaming cup of tea. 

We also love using them in desserts, especially as a substitute for graham crumbs in a cheesecake base.

I’ve also read that some versions use caramelized sugar in the recipe. I personally think that’s part of the unique flavour profile.

The inspiration for Biscoff Butterscotch Cheesecake Tiramisu.

It was that caramel background flavour that led me to develop this recipe, along with the cheesecake inspiration from earlier experiments.

With the summer BBQ season just ahead, I thought a no-bake version would be perfect as a get-ahead recipe to make the day before any entertaining event.

My recent revelation about caramelizing Dulce de Leche sweetened condensed milk to make butterscotch, also played heavily into the motivation to create this recipe. I thought a combination of all of these ideas would make one stellar dessert! 

I was not wrong!  We served it to a group of 15  family members from  a couple of one year olds to  my 84 year old Dad! Everyone simply loved it!

Our Easter dinner table this year. This dessert was very well received by all!

I have quite a number of  desserts that feed a large crowd, but I have a feeling I’ll be getting requests to make this one again on future occasions.

It’s such an easy, impressive and utterly decadent recipe, I daresay those requests will easily and happily be accomodated.

Notes

Directions to make the Butterscotch Dulce de Leche are AT THE LINK HERE. Close up photo of Butterscotch Dulce de Leche..

This is a very large dessert, made in a 9x13 pan. It is easily halved to fit into an 8x8 inch pan if you are serving fewer people. A 9x9 pan probably would require 3/4 f the recipe for the layers to be in proportion.
