Frequently Asked Questions About Lotus biscuit crumbs
What are Lotus biscuit crumbs?
Lotus biscuit crumbs are crushed Lotus caramelised biscuits, sold or made in fine or coarse form. They add a spiced caramel flavour and a crumbly texture to dessert bases, fillings and toppings.
How do you make Lotus biscuit crumbs at home?
Pulse Lotus biscuits in a food processor until they reach the texture you want. Without a processor, seal the biscuits in a sturdy bag and crush them with a rolling pin; use finer crumbs for a crust and coarser ones for topping.
How do you use Lotus biscuit crumbs in cheesecake?
Mix Lotus biscuit crumbs with melted butter, press the mixture firmly into a cake tin, and chill or bake it according to your cheesecake recipe. Pressing the crumbs evenly helps the base hold together when you slice the cheesecake.
What desserts can you make with Lotus biscuit crumbs?
Use Lotus biscuit crumbs in cheesecake, layered pudding cups, trifles, ice cream, or cake fillings. They work as a crust, a layer between cream, or a finishing sprinkle; add them at serving time when you want them to stay crunchy.
Are Lotus biscuit crumbs the same as Lotus Biscoff spread?
No. Lotus biscuit crumbs are crushed biscuits, while Lotus Biscoff spread is a smooth spread made from biscuits. Crumbs add texture and can form a dessert base; the spread is better for a smooth filling or drizzle.
What can I use instead of Lotus biscuit crumbs?
Crushed speculoos or another caramelised spiced biscuit is the closest substitute for Lotus biscuit crumbs. Graham crackers or plain digestive biscuits can work for a crust, but the finished dessert will have a less distinctive caramelised spice flavour.
How should you store Lotus biscuit crumbs?
Keep Lotus biscuit crumbs in a clean, airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard. Moisture makes the crumbs lose their crisp texture and clump, so close the container promptly after use.
Can you bake Lotus biscuit crumbs into a cake?
Yes, you can fold Lotus biscuit crumbs into cake batter for added biscuit flavour and texture. Use them in moderation because a large amount can make the crumb denser; reserve some to sprinkle over the frosting if you want a crisp finish.
Can Lotus biscuit crumbs be used as a dessert topping?
Yes, sprinkle Lotus biscuit crumbs over ice cream, yogurt, pudding or frosting for a crunchy finish. Add them just before serving, since contact with moist toppings softens the crumbs.
How do you make Lotus biscuit crumbs stick to a dessert?
For a loose topping, scatter Lotus biscuit crumbs over frosting or cream while the surface is still slightly tacky. To make a firm layer, combine them with melted butter and press them into place, as you would for a biscuit crust.

What is Lotus biscuit crumbs?
Lotus biscuit crumbs are made by crushing caramelised Lotus biscuits into fine, crisp pieces. They are used as a dessert ingredient rather than as a flour: the sweet, gently spiced caramel flavour works especially well in cheesecake bases, layered puddings and ice-cream toppings. In Belgium and the Netherlands, where the biscuits are especially familiar, they may also be served alongside coffee; elsewhere, the crumbs are a convenient way to add that flavour to home baking.
They are mainly a source of carbohydrates and fat, with relatively little protein or fibre; 100 g provides 484 kcal. A small spoonful can add plenty of flavour and crunch, particularly when paired with fruit or plain yoghurt.
