What Are Biscoffs?
Before we dive in, let’s talk about what exactly are these delicious cookies. If you haven’t had the pleasure of trying Biscoff cookies, prepare yourself! They are so light, crispy and delicious. Biscoffs, also known as speculoos or Lotus Biscoff cookies, are spiced European biscuits originating in Belgium. The biscoff flavor has a hint of cinnamon and caramel. Yum!
Overview of Biscoff Cake Ingredients
To create this luscious icebox cake, you’ll need three main ingredients!
Stabilized whipped cream – I used a whipped cream stabilized with cream cheese. Get the full recipe here or see below for some quick instructions.
Biscoff cookies – 1-2 sleeves depending on your preference and the size of your dish. I actually ran out of biscoff cookies because I’m greedy and couldn’t help snacking on them while preparing for this dish. I ended up using a layer of cinnamon sugar graham crackers and they were the perfect addition to this lotus biscoff cake!
Biscoff cookie butter – This stuff should be against the law. I’m a true cookie butter fan. If you can’t get your hands on cookie butter, you can use peanut butter, nutella or even almond butter.
How to Make Whipped Cream Cream Cheese
In a large bowl, mix 8oz cream cheese softened at room temperature and 3/4 cup powdered sugar using an electric mixer or stand mixer using the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth.
Add 2 cups of cold heavy cream and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the cheese mixture.
Scraping sides of the bowl as necessary, whip until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency. Just mix until you see firm peaks.
How to Make Biscoff Icebox Cake
1. Line an 9×6 casserole dish with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Make sure there is an overhang so you can cover the cake once layered.
2. Line the bottom of the dish with biscoff cookies. Since this will be the top of the cake make sure to layer the cookies upside down.
3. Spread 1/3 of stabilized whipped cream in an even layer on top of the cookies, covering them completely.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice, alternating layers of Biscoff cookies and stabilized whipped cream. Add another layer of cookies.
5. Cover the dish with the overhang of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The longer it chills, the better it gets!
6. Once set, remove from the fridge. Invert the cake on to a serving dish, cake plate or platter. Warm the cookie butter spread on the stovetop over low heat or for a few seconds in the microwave to loosen it. Drizzle the cookie butter over the top of the cake. Add cookie crumbs to the top for additional garnish. Slice into squares or rectangles.
How to Store the Biscoff Cake
Once you’ve indulged in every last bite (which won’t take long, trust me!), you’ll want to store leftovers properly. Simply wrap your cake tightly with plastic wrap or transfer individual slices into airtight containers. Pop them back in your fridge where they’ll stay fresh for up to three days.
Biscoff Icebox Cake Variations
One of the best things about icebox cakes is how adaptable they are. Here are a few variations you can try:
Chocolate: Add chocolate ganache between the cake layers for chocolate goodness.
Strawberries: Add sliced strawberries between the whipped cream and Biscoff cookies for a fruity twist.
Nutella: Substitute cookie butter with Nutella for an indulgent hazelnut-chocolate combination.
FAQs About Icebox Cake
Can I substitute another type of cookie?
Absolutely! While Biscoffs infuse this cake with their unique flavor, you can use other cookies like graham crackers or chocolate wafer cookies.
How long does it take for the cake to set in the fridge?
It’s recommended to chill your Biscoff Icebox Cake for at least four hours or overnight so that it sets properly.
Can I freeze this cake?
Yes, you can! Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in an airtight container or freezer bag. It will stay fresh for up to three months. Tip: You can eat it right out of the freezer and boom! You have a biscoff ice cream cake!
Can I use regular whipped cream?
Certainly! While stabilized whipped cream is recommended so that the whipped cream holds its shape, you can still use regular whipped cream as an alternative.
