Lotus Biscoff Dessert Cups Recipe

Ingredients:

• 200g Lotus Biscoff biscuits
• 300ml milk
• 1.5 tablespoons custard powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar (for custard)
• 300ml whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon sugar (for whipped cream)
• A pinch of vanilla powder or essence

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Crumbs

Using a food processor, grind the Lotus Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin. Set the crumbs aside for later use.

Step 2: Make the Custard

In a bowl, mix 1/4 of the milk with the custard powder, ensuring it dissolves well. In a saucepan, add the remaining milk along with 1 tablespoon of sugar and stir until dissolved. Slowly add the milk and custard mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens. Once thickened, remove it from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 3: Prepare the Whipped Cream

In a separate bowl, combine the whipping cream, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of vanilla powder or essence. Whisk the mixture until stiff peaks form. For faster results, use an electric mixer. Once ready, transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag for easy layering.

Step 4: Assemble the Dessert Cups

Begin by placing a layer of biscuit crumbs at the bottom of each dessert cup. Add a layer of custard on top of the crumbs. Next, add another layer of biscuit crumbs. Pipe a layer of whipped cream over the crumbs. For a final touch, sprinkle more biscuit crumbs on top for decoration.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Place the assembled dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set. Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, crunchy delight.
