My thoughts:
When we went to Kingdom of Kingdom of Belgium a few years back, i of the many nutrient items we brought dorsum was speculoos spread (speculoospasta). It was made of pose downwards speculoos, the spice cookie that is incredibly popular inwards Belgium. It seemed likewise thence foreign likewise actually Belgian we had to movement it. I never imagined it would slice of draw available hither inwards the USA but a few years later. The same construct that made it inwards Belgium, Lotus, makes it hither but under speculoos' American name, Biscoff. Now I tin bring it whenever I want. I bring made my ain speculoos, but I saw some imported speculoos cookies a spell dorsum (at an after Christmas sale but they had a long expiration date!) likewise picked them upward with the grab I'd construct something out of them eventually.

When my wife said he wanted to construct me something special for my birthday, I grab it mightiness concluding fun to construct a speculoos cheesecake! Since it was August we went the no-bake route (except for the crust, I justice you lot lot could skip the baking measuring but it is crispier likewise better tasting baked) likewise made a light, Greek yogurt-based cheesecake instead of its winter-worth cousin. It was everything I hoped it would be, total of speculoos flavor, creamy likewise with but a hint of tang from the yogurt. A perfect blend of the American likewise the Belgian.

Bit of trivia: speculoos spread was showtime invented past times times contestants on a Belgian television demo almost inventors, de Bedenkers! They were inspired past times times a style of crushing the cookies mixing it with butter likewise spreading on sandwich bread. They came inwards 3rd place.
