Lotus Dessert an easy and delicious recipe! A simple and quick no-bake spoon dessert made with the legendary creamy spread made from the famous Biscoff cookies by Lotus. Those who know me well know that I love it; in the past, I have prepared the lotus cheesecake and also the lotus cream roll. Today’s recipe is made with a base of crumbled cookies mixed with butter, similar to cheesecakes, but in this case, everything is prepared in a baking dish. It is then filled with a dense cream based on mascarpone and cream, and topped with a generous layer of lotus cream and cookies. Try it and let me know; at the bottom of the recipe, you’ll find the video along with step-by-step photos.
