Where to find Biscoff-inspired treats around the Capital Region

Last November at the Mid City arts festival White Light Night, Honey Bee Baking Co. founder Kait Culy tested the waters on a Biscoff blondie.

“I’ve always loved Biscoff cookies, and it was something I wanted to incorporate,” says Culy, who manned a pop-up that evening at Electric Depot. “They completely sold out and have become one of my top sellers.”

Culy is one of scores of bakers, baristas and home cooks finding ways to use Lotus Bakeries’ now-famed Biscoff cookies in their creations.

Belgian manufacturer Lotus has been turning out the Flemish spiced speculoos cookie since 1932, branding it Biscoff in the 1980s for its coffee compatibility.

The name is a portmanteau of “biscuit” and “coffee.” Caramel notes and a hint of cinnamon define the goody’s cozy profile, which has helped it leapfrog from rudimentary in-flight snack to worldwide “it” flavor. A growing number of influencers are espousing Biscoff’s multitude of applications, including no-bake trifles, cheesecakes, dessert dips, milkshakes, coffees and more.

A recent partnership between Lotus and Krispy Kreme has yielded three different trademarked doughnuts gilded with the cookies or flavored with the company’s companion cookie butter. Lotus itself now also makes two kinds of Biscoff ice cream bars. And, Trader Joe’s carries its own brand of speculoos cookies, cookie butter and cookie butter ice cream, further proof of its hype.

Inspired by Australian influencer Brooke Bellamy, founder of Brooki Bakehouse, Culy deploys a three-part formula for her Biscoff blondies. She incorporates hand-crushed cookies in the batter, using a rolling pin to keep some of the pieces chunky. She also adds Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter to the mixture. A single Biscoff cookie, with its familiar embossment, is laid atop each baked blondie slice—glued in place with another schmear of cookie butter.

It’s fair to say Biscoff blondies have helped Culy’s Port Allen microbakery cultivate a loyal following.

“It’s become one of our signature staples,” she says. “There’s something about the flavors.”
