Speculoos paste is a real creamy and spicy treat. With its flavors of cinnamon and brown sugar, it is perfect for adding a comforting touch to your ice cream. Whether you use it as a topping, in a swirl, or even directly in your base before churning, this homemade dough will take your desserts to the next level.
Ingredients :
- 200 g of speculoos biscuits
- 100 ml of unsweetened condensed milk
- 50 g of unsalted butter
- 50 g of brown sugar (or less depending on your preferences)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, to intensify flavors)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Preparation :
- Reduce the biscuits to powder
Put the speculoos in a blender and blend them until you obtain a fine powder. If you prefer a dough with a little texture, leave a few small pieces for added crunch. - Melt the butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the condensed milk and brown sugar, then stir until the sugar is well dissolved. - Mixing with the biscuits
Add the speculoos powder to the butter-milk mixture, then mix well to obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Add a pinch of salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract if you want to intensify the flavors. - Adjust the consistency
If the dough is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more condensed milk to soften it. It should be creamy and easy to spread or incorporate into your ice cream. - Store your speculoos paste
Pour the speculoos paste into an airtight jar and store it in the refrigerator. It can be stored for about 2 weeks, and you can reheat it slightly to make it more fluid before using it.
My Personal Tip:
This speculoos paste is perfect for making marbled speculoos ice cream by incorporating it directly into your base before churning with the Ninja Creami. It is also delicious as a topping on vanilla or banana ice cream, or to garnish frozen pancakes. For an even more delicious touch, try using it as a base for an iced milkshake, it's killer!
There you have it, a homemade speculoos dough rich in flavors, ready to add a touch of spice and sweetness to all your Ninja Creami frozen creations.
