Ingredients In Biscoff Mousse
The ingredients for the Biscoff Mousse Dessert Box are chosen to create a dessert that's both creamy and full of the unique Biscoff flavor.
- Biscoff cookies: These cookies are known for their distinct cinnamon and caramel taste, which forms the base of this dessert and adds texture and flavor to the layers.
- Unsalted butter: It's mixed with the crushed Biscoff cookies to form a firm base that holds the layers of the dessert together.
- Cream cheese: This adds a rich, creamy texture to the filling, balancing the sweetness of the other ingredients with its mild tanginess.
- Powdered sugar: It sweetens the cream cheese filling, giving it a smooth consistency without the grittiness of regular sugar.
- Heavy cream: When whipped, it adds lightness and volume to the filling, creating a mousse-like texture that's both rich and airy.
- Cookie butter Biscoff spread: This spread enhances the filling and topping with its creamy texture and deep caramelized sugar and spice flavor, echoing the taste of the Biscoff cookies.
- Milk (optional): Drizzling milk over the cookie layers (if you choose to) moistens them, giving the Biscoff Mousse dessert a softer, cake-like texture in each bite.
How To Make A Biscoff Mousse Dessert Box
Crushing and Preparing the Base
Begin by transforming your Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs.

Once you've got a powdery consistency, mix these crumbs with melted butter. This mixture will serve as your dessert's foundation.

Press it evenly into the bottom of your container, ensuring a solid base for the layers to come.

Creating the Filling
Move on to the filling by taking a mixing bowl and beating the cream cheese and powdered sugar until it's nice and smooth.

Once these are well combined, pour in the heavy cream and continue to beat until the mixture thickens.

To infuse the unique Biscoff flavor, fold in the Biscoff spread, blending until everything is uniformly mixed.

Layering the Dessert
With your base set, it's time to layer. Scoop half of your creamy filling over the base, smoothing it out to form an even layer. Arrange a layer of Biscoff cookies on top of this creamy layer.

If you choose, lightly drizzle these cookies with milk to soften them, giving a moist, cake-like texture.

Top this with the remaining filling, spreading it carefully to cover the cookies.

Adding the Topping
For the grand finale, take the Biscoff spread designated for the topping and warm it in the microwave until it reaches a pourable consistency. Gently pour this over the top layer of your dessert, tilting the container as needed to ensure an even coverage.

Embellish the surface with a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies and a centerpiece of a whole cookie for visual appeal.

Chilling and Serving
Place your Biscoff Mousse dessert box in the fridge to chill, allowing time for the layers to set and the flavors to intensify. This chilling process is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and taste. Once set, your Biscoff Mousse Dessert Box is ready to be served, offering a visually stunning and deliciously rich treat.
MY Top Tip
The most important tip for this Biscoff Mousse Dessert Box recipe is to not overmix the filling after adding the heavy cream. Overmixing can lead to the filling becoming too thick or even curdling, which affects the light, mousse-like texture you're aiming for.
The goal is to whip the heavy cream into the mixture just until it reaches the right consistency—thick enough to hold its shape but still soft and creamy. This ensures that the filling remains light and airy, perfectly complementing the crunchy cookie base and the rich Biscoff flavor throughout the dessert.

Suggestions For Biscoff Mousse Variations
To add variety to your Biscoff Mousse Dessert Box, consider these creative twists:
- Chocolate Twist: Incorporate melted dark or milk chocolate into the filling or drizzle it over the top layer for a chocolatey contrast to the spicy sweetness of the Biscoff Mousse. Chocolate chips or shavings also make a great topping for added texture and flavor.
- Nutty Flavor: Mix in chopped roasted nuts such as almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts into the filling or sprinkle them on top for a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor. This addition complements the caramel notes of the Biscoff beautifully.
- Coffee Kick: Blend a small amount of strong, cooled espresso or instant coffee into the cream cheese mixture to introduce a subtle coffee flavor that pairs wonderfully with the Biscoff's cinnamon and caramel tones. This results in a delicious Coffee Biscoff Mousse!
- Mini Desserts: Instead of one large dessert box, make individual servings in small cups or glasses for a personalized touch. This is perfect for parties or when you want to control portion sizes. Everyone gets their own little Biscoff Mousse!
