SPECULOOS COOKIE BUTTER MOUSSE

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Speculoos or Biscoff cookie butter

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup sugar, divided

8 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)

2-3 tsp honey

Freshly grated cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, add whipping cream and 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until it forms soft peaks and becomes whipped cream, this will take a few minutes.
2. Into another bowl, add cream cheese and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Beat together until smooth. Taste and check for sweetness, if you like it sweeter add a little honey.
3. Place the cookie butter into a microwave safe container and heat it for about 30 seconds until it’s warmed through. Add to the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined well. With a spatula gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
4. Spoon into individual ramekins, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until mixture is set up. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
