Three delicious ways to recreate the flavour of caramelised biscuits
BRITAIN'S gone crazy for the flavour of caramelised biscuits.
From market leader Biscoff to own-brand supermarket products, you can get the sweet taste in ice creams, cookies, cheesecakes, sponge puds and – increasingly – in liquid form.

Enjoy the treats for less with these sweet ideas . . .
DRINK UP: Dunking may have had its day. Instead, enjoy that biscuit taste as part of the drink itself.
For a Biscoff latte, stir a tablespoon of spread into a quarter cup of strong coffee, then top with hot milk.
For a more decadent drink, add whipped cream. For a cooler treat, blend a scoop of ice cream with half a cup of milk, a ripe banana and then a heaped tablespoon of Biscoff spread.
SUPER SPREADERS: The main ingredient for these tastes can come from a 400g jar of Biscoff, down from £3.35 to £2.60 at Waitrose. You could also try Asda's caramelised biscuit spread for £1.99.
As well as eating it on toast, you can make chocolate chip cookies, putting a dollop of the spread on top of the cookies before baking.
For brownies, make your usual recipe and pour half the batter into the tin. Put random teaspoons of Biscoff spread over the mixture then cover with the rest of the batter.
Make DIY Biscoff ice cream by stirring swirls of the spread into low-cost vanilla ice cream. You could crumble some of the biscuits on top, too.
UP YOUR GAME: A pack of caramelised biscuits can be used for next level desserts.
They are a triumph in no-bake cheesecakes, using crushed Biscoff instead of digestives in the base. Whisk a couple of heaped tablespoons of the spread into the topping mixture, too.

They also transform a tiramisu. Use a double layer of biscuits instead of sponge fingers.
Dip in coffee before using them to cover the bottom of a dish. Spoon over mascarpone whipped with cream and top with grated chocolate.
