Frequently Asked Questions About Lotus spread sauce
What is Lotus spread sauce?
Lotus spread sauce is a sweet, smooth cookie butter made from caramelized Lotus Biscoff biscuits. Depending on the product, it may be thick enough to spread on toast or looser and intended for drizzling over desserts.
How do you use Lotus spread sauce?
Use Lotus spread sauce on toast, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream, or add it as a filling or topping in desserts. Its sweetness and strong caramelized-biscuit flavor make a small amount go a long way.
What is Lotus spread sauce made of?
Lotus spread sauce is typically made with crushed Lotus Biscoff biscuits, which give it its signature caramelized flavor, along with ingredients that make it smooth and spreadable. The exact recipe varies by product, so the package lists its specific ingredients.
How do you melt Lotus spread sauce for drizzling?
Warm Lotus spread sauce in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring between each, or place the container in warm water. Stop as soon as it becomes pourable; overheating can make it too runny or affect its texture.
Can you make Lotus spread sauce at home?
Yes, blend finely crushed Lotus Biscoff biscuits with a little warm milk or cream and oil until smooth. Add the liquid gradually to control the consistency, and refrigerate the homemade mixture because it does not have the same shelf life as a sealed commercial product.
Does Lotus spread sauce need to be refrigerated after opening?
Most shelf-stable jars of Lotus spread sauce do not need refrigeration after opening. Keep the lid tightly closed and store the jar in a cool, dry cupboard; follow the package directions if they specify otherwise.
What is the difference between Lotus spread sauce and Lotus Biscoff spread?
Lotus spread sauce and Lotus Biscoff spread share the caramelized-biscuit flavor, but their consistency can differ. A sauce is generally made to drizzle, while a spread is thicker; products sold under these names vary, so check the texture on the package.
Can Lotus spread sauce be used in cheesecake?
Yes, Lotus spread sauce works well in cheesecake as a topping, a layer in the filling, or a flavoring mixed into the cream cheese mixture. Warm it slightly to make it easier to spread or drizzle over the finished cheesecake.
Why has Lotus spread sauce become hard?
Lotus spread sauce can become firm when cold, especially after refrigeration, because its fats solidify. Let the jar sit at room temperature or gently warm a small portion, then stir it until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
What can you use instead of Lotus spread sauce in a recipe?
Use another caramelized cookie butter if you want a similar flavor, or substitute a smooth nut butter for a less sweet result. For a closer homemade alternative, blend Lotus Biscoff biscuits with a little neutral oil until the mixture is smooth.

What is Lotus spread sauce?
Lotus spread sauce is a smooth, sweet spread made by grinding caramelised biscuits, associated with Belgium and its much-loved spiced biscuit tradition. It has a toasted, caramel-like flavour and a thick, creamy texture.
Spread it on toast, pancakes or waffles, or use a little as a dessert topping; in many places it is also served with coffee or tea. It is rich in carbohydrates and fat, so a small spoonful can add plenty of sweetness and energy. For a lighter snack, use a thin layer with sliced fruit or plain yoghurt.
