Attention, Christmas-lovers! Today's recipe is a delicious cookie cream for spooning: with this homemade Speculoos cream, you can spread the famous Christmas cookies directly on your bread.

Or let them melt in your mouth because the speculoos spread is a hit. Perfect for snacking or as a gift from the kitchen. Well, has anyone got a craving … 😉 ?

Taste and Occasion

Maybe one or the other already knows caramel-cookie-cream from the supermarket. Since I first tried the speculoos cream a few years ago, I have been an absolute fan of it. But why should you buy it ready-made, when you can make it faster, cheaper and above all more individually?

This principle applies often. I promise you: If you are a sweets-lover like me, you will love the speculoos cream! And you will prefer to keep it for yourself instead of passing it on. The cookie cream is actually the best thing, quick and at the same time a special Christmas gift. But if necessary, you can also give yourself a gift 😉.

Ingredients

For the ingredients - the homemade speculoos cream in a jar - you need spiced speculoos, condensed milk or cream, some butter as well as spices for flavoring. Of course, the cookie cream also tastes good with butter cookies, caramel cookies, coconut cookies, or other pastries during the year. Cinnamon always tastes good anyway, just like vanilla or tonka bean.

The preparation - grinding and mixing - is done with a food processor or kitchen chopper. If you like to make a kind of Lotus Biscoff spread crunchy yourself, stir in a few cookie pieces at the end.

How to make the Easy Homemade Speculoos Cream

First things first: Finely grind the cookies in a food processor or kitchen chopper. Now, add the cream, mix for one minute, then add all the remaining ingredients and mix again briefly to form a homogeneous cream.

If you like, you can fold in some speculoos pieces at the end. In the end, pour the cream into a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator. It will firm up a bit there - so take it out some time before eating.
