• 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Crust

• 6 Lotus Biscoff cookies, crushed

Instructions

1. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy base for the dessert.

3. Prepare the Crust: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand, which will help the crust hold together.
4. Form the Base Layer: Spoon the cookie and butter mixture into the bottom of serving cups, pressing lightly to create a firm and even crust layer.

Notes

• For a firmer crust, add an extra Biscoff cookie or more butter.
• Can be made a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
• Use high-quality mascarpone for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
• Chocolate shavings can be substituted with white chocolate or caramel drizzle as desired.
• To crush cookies, place them in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin or food processor.
