Frequently Asked Questions About Lotus biscuit
What is a Lotus biscuit?
A Lotus biscuit is a crisp Belgian biscuit with a caramelized, spiced flavor, commonly served alongside coffee. It is also known as Lotus Biscoff, the brand name under which the biscuit is sold.
Is a Lotus biscuit the same as a Biscoff biscuit?
Yes. Biscoff is the brand name for the Lotus biscuit, not a separate kind of biscuit. The name combines “biscuit” and “coffee,” reflecting the traditional pairing.
What does a Lotus biscuit taste like?
A Lotus biscuit tastes sweet, caramelized, and warmly spiced, with a crisp texture. Its flavor is often compared to caramel and cinnamon, though the exact spice notes are subtle.
Where do Lotus biscuits come from?
Lotus biscuits originated in Belgium. Lotus Bakeries introduced the biscuit as a coffee accompaniment, and it has since become popular internationally under the Biscoff name.
What are Lotus biscuits made of?
Lotus biscuits are made mainly with flour, sugar, vegetable oils, and spices. Their characteristic caramel flavor comes from caramelized sugar; the precise ingredient list can vary between products and markets.
Why are Lotus biscuits served with coffee?
Lotus biscuits are served with coffee because their sweet, caramelized flavor complements coffee’s bitterness. The pairing is especially familiar in Belgium, where cafés often offer a biscuit with a cup.
Can you use Lotus biscuits for a cheesecake crust?
Yes. Crush Lotus biscuits, mix the crumbs with melted butter, and press the mixture into a pan to make a cheesecake crust. Chill or bake it according to your recipe.
What is the difference between Lotus biscuits and Lotus Biscoff spread?
Lotus biscuits are crisp, individual biscuits, while Lotus Biscoff spread is a smooth, spreadable product made from crushed biscuits. The spread works as a topping or dessert filling; it is not simply a softened biscuit.
Do Lotus biscuits contain caffeine?
No, Lotus biscuits do not contain coffee as an ingredient and are not a source of caffeine. Their name reflects their traditional pairing with coffee, rather than coffee being part of the biscuit.
How should you store Lotus biscuits after opening?
Keep Lotus biscuits in an airtight container in a cool, dry place after opening. Limiting their exposure to air and moisture helps them stay crisp; refrigeration is not needed.

What is Lotus biscuit?
Lotus biscuit is a Belgian caramelised biscuit with a crisp bite and a warm, lightly spiced flavour. It is often described as speculoos-style and is enjoyed on its own, as well as crushed into dessert bases or toppings.
In Belgium and elsewhere, it is commonly served with coffee; it also works well alongside tea or as a sweet addition to ice cream and cheesecake. Its nutrition is weighted towards carbohydrates and fat, so a couple of biscuits can make a satisfying small treat. For a less indulgent pairing, enjoy it with plain coffee or unsweetened tea rather than adding it to an already rich dessert.
