The internet has gone crazy for Speculoos cookies! These caramel-spiced biscuits are the undisputed king of winter desserts. If you're looking for a recipe that will conquer your taste buds and... your Instagram reach, you've come to the right place!
We've combined the viral Speculoos cheesecake trend with our artisanal quality. Forget boring bases. Here, the spicy sweetness of cookies meets the refined flavor of roasted hazelnuts. It's a perfect pairing!
We present Mini Spicy Cheesecakes with Tylko Laskowy spread – perfect, single-portion desserts for the holidays.
Nutty twist: paste instead of butter!
What sets this recipe apart from thousands of others? Look at the ingredients in the base. You won't find any butter! Instead, we add our Only Hazelnut Paste 100% roasted nuts from Good Noot .
This is a brilliant "game changer"! The roasted hazelnut paste perfectly binds the cookies together, and its savory, nutty character offsets the sweetness of caramel and cinnamon. It's a match made in heaven – you have to try it!
Recipe for Mini Speculoos Cheesecakes (à la Lotus)
(Ingredients for 6 pieces – perfect for an intimate gathering!)
Ingredients for the base:
-
100g spice cookies or Speculoos
-
40g Only Hazelnut Paste 100% from Good Noot 🌰
Ingredients for the cheese mass:
-
400g of natural cheese (e.g. cottage cheese, thick Philadelphia cheese or thick Greek yogurt)
-
1 small egg
-
20g of custard powder (e.g. vanilla or cream) without added sugar
-
30g cane sugar
-
1 teaspoon gingerbread spice (to enhance the Speculoos flavor!)
Decoration:
-
Only Hazelnut Paste 100% from Good Noot
-
Crushed Speculoos cookies
How to make it:
-
Prepare the Speculoos base: Place the cookies in a food processor and blend until finely ground. Add the hazelnut paste to the crumbs and mix thoroughly until a mixture resembles wet sand. Smell the aroma! Caramel and nuts are magical.
-
Line the cups: Prepare silicone muffin cups. Place a spoonful of cookie dough on the bottom of each cup and press firmly.
-
Make the cheese filling: Place the natural cheese, egg, custard powder, cane sugar, and gingerbread spice in a bowl. Mix briefly (just until combined) to avoid air pockets (this will ensure perfectly even cheesecakes).
-
Baking in a water bath: spread the cheese mixture on the prepared bases.
-
A trick for creaminess: Bake the cheesecakes in a double boiler – this gives them a velvety texture. Place the silicone molds on a deeper baking sheet and pour boiling water into the molds (up to about 1/3 of their height).
-
Place in an oven preheated to 160 C and bake for about 30 minutes .
-
-
Cooling: After baking, turn off the oven, open the door, and leave the cheesecakes inside until completely cool. Then chill them in the refrigerator.
-
The grand finale: Remove the cold cheesecakes from the molds and pour a generous amount of hazelnut paste (which goes perfectly with Lotus cookies) and sprinkle with crumbs.
Done! These little wonders taste as good as they look.
Feel the magic of the nutty holidays!
