Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Add additional heavy cream to achieve desired dipping or drizzling consistency.

Biscoff Fun Facts

  • Biscoff cookies were invented in 1932 in a local bakery in Lembeke, Belgium. The unique recipe created an iconic cookie with a unique flavor and a crunchy bite. The bakery is still family-owned to this day and still based in their hometown.
  • These delicious cookies have since been shared all over the world with creative home cooks finding endless uses for them. They can be enjoyed whole with a cup of coffee or crushed and crumbled into a variety of dishes.
  • The cookies have even been transformed into cookie butter. This food paste is made from the Biscoff cookie crumbs, oil, flour, and sugar until it becomes spreadable. It is a common alternative to nut butter or chocolate spreads.
