Frequently Asked Questions About Lotus biscuit spread
What is Lotus biscuit spread made of?
Lotus biscuit spread is made mainly from finely ground caramelised Lotus biscuits, sugar and vegetable oil. Smooth versions have an even texture, while crunchy versions contain small biscuit pieces; ingredients can vary by product.
Is Lotus biscuit spread the same as cookie butter?
Lotus biscuit spread is a type of cookie butter: both are sweet, spreadable pastes made from crushed biscuits. “Cookie butter” is a broader term, while Lotus biscuit spread gets its distinctive flavour from Lotus’s caramelised biscuits.
What is the difference between smooth and crunchy Lotus biscuit spread?
Smooth Lotus biscuit spread has a uniform, easily spreadable texture; the crunchy version contains biscuit pieces. They can be used in the same ways, but the crunchy variety adds more texture to toast, fillings and desserts.
How do you use Lotus biscuit spread?
Spread it on toast, swirl it into porridge or yogurt, or spoon it over pancakes and waffles. It also works as a filling for cakes and sandwiches, and can be stirred into desserts for a caramelised biscuit flavour.
Can you bake with Lotus biscuit spread?
Yes, Lotus biscuit spread works in baked desserts as a filling, topping or ingredient in batters. Because it is already sweet and contains fat, reduce the sugar or fat in a recipe when adding a generous amount.
Can you melt Lotus biscuit spread?
Yes, Lotus biscuit spread softens when warmed. Heat it gently in short bursts in a microwave or in a bowl over warm water, stirring between intervals; overheating can make it too runny or scorch it.
Does Lotus biscuit spread need to be refrigerated after opening?
No, Lotus biscuit spread generally does not need refrigeration after opening. Keep the lid tightly closed and store the jar in a cool, dry place away from sunlight; chilling can make the spread firm and harder to use.
How long does Lotus biscuit spread last after opening?
Follow the storage instructions and date on the jar, since shelf life can vary by product. Use a clean, dry utensil each time and close the lid promptly; discard the spread if its smell, appearance or texture changes noticeably.
Does Lotus biscuit spread cause weight gain?
Lotus biscuit spread is energy-dense, so regularly eating large portions can contribute to weight gain. A small serving can fit into a meal or snack, but frequent spoonfuls on top of your usual food add up quickly.
Can people with diabetes eat Lotus biscuit spread?
People with diabetes can include Lotus biscuit spread only with attention to portion size and its sugar content, since it can raise blood glucose. How it fits varies with an individual’s plan, so ask your doctor or dietitian for personal guidance.

What is Lotus biscuit spread?
Lotus biscuit spread is a sweet, spreadable product made by grinding Belgian Lotus caramelised biscuits with ingredients that give it a smooth consistency. It has a deep caramel flavour, often with gentle spice notes, and a creamy texture that may feel slightly grainy. In Belgium and elsewhere, people spread it on toast, add it to pancakes or waffles, or use it as a cake and biscuit filling; it is also enjoyed by the spoonful with a cup of tea or coffee.
It is energy-dense and high in sugar, so a thin layer goes a long way. Try it with sliced banana or apple, or use it in baking while cutting back on other added sugar.
