Lotus Biscoff Biscuit Base
Description
The Lotus Biscoff Biscuit Base uses crushed Lotus Biscoff biscuits combined with superfine caster sugar and melted unsalted butter. Mixing these ingredients forms a crumbly but lightly moist mixture that can be pressed into a pie shell or springform tin. The pressed crust is chilled in the refrigerator for about an hour, allowing the butter to firm up and the crust to set evenly along the base and sides. This method requires no baking, making it a straightforward way to create a grainy, crisp foundation.
The flavor is characterized by the biscuits' natural caramel and cinnamon notes, complementing a range of fillings. The texture achieved after chilling is firm yet crumbly, providing a pleasant contrast to creamy or fresh fruit toppings.
When preparing this base, pressing the crumbs evenly is key to avoid cracks. After chilling, it’s ready for filling and can be combined with mousses, cheesecakes, or custards. Since this base is prepared without baking, refrigeration time is essential for structure.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Lotus Biscoff biscuits crushed, crumbs
- ¼ cup caster sugar or superfine granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup butter melted, unsalted
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the cookie crumbs and sugar. Then add the melted butter and stir well to form a coarse lightly damp crumb.
- Transfer the mixture to your pie shell, tart base or springform tin. Press firmly to pack this into the tin evenly on the base and up the sides to the desired depth.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill for about 1 hour before filling.
