Ingredients
- 7 oz Lotus Biscoff cookies, crushed into crumbs
- 5 Lotus Biscoff cookies, whole (for garnish)
- 1 ¾ cups unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk for a slight increase in points)
- 1 ½ tablespoons sugar-free custard powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or another sugar substitute of choice)
- 1 ¾ cups light whipped topping (such as Cool Whip Free)
- Pinch of vanilla powder or a few drops of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Biscoff Crumbs:
- Place 7 oz of Lotus Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Set aside.
- Make Custard:
- In a saucepan, combine unsweetened almond milk, sugar-free custard powder, and powdered erythritol. Whisk until well combined and there are no lumps.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to boil gently. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the Dessert Cups:
- Divide the crushed Biscoff crumbs evenly among 6 serving cups or glasses, reserving a small amount for garnish.
- Spoon the cooled custard mixture over the Biscoff crumbs in each cup.
- Prepare Whipped Topping:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the light whipped topping with vanilla powder or extract. Mix gently until well incorporated.
- Top and Chill:
- Spoon a dollop of the whipped topping over each dessert cup, spreading it evenly to cover the custard layer.
- Garnish each cup with a whole or crumbled Lotus Biscoff cookie.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the dessert cups for at least 1 hour, or until fully chilled and set.
Useful Information
- Ingredient Tips: Using unsweetened almond milk and powdered erythritol significantly reduces the points. Opting for light whipped topping further lowers the overall points per serving.
- Storage: Store leftover dessert cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
- Variations: For added flair, sprinkle a touch of cinnamon or cocoa powder over the whipped topping before garnishing with the cookie.
