Speculoos spread is a truly creamy and spicy treat. With its cinnamon and brown sugar flavors, it's perfect for adding a comforting touch to your ice cream. Whether you use it as a topping, a swirl, or even directly in your base before churning, this homemade spread will take your desserts to the next level.
Ingredients :
- 200g of speculoos biscuits
- 100 ml of unsweetened condensed milk
- 50g of unsalted butter
- 50g of brown sugar (or less, depending on your preference)
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, to intensify the flavors)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
Preparation :
- Crush the biscuits into crumbs.
Put the speculoos in a food processor and blend until you get a fine powder. If you prefer a paste with a bit of texture, leave some small pieces for extra 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 completely dissolved. - Mix with the biscuits.
Add the speculoos powder to the butter-milk mixture, then mix well to obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Add the pinch of salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract if you wish to intensify the flavors. - Adjust the consistency.
If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more condensed milk to thin it out. It should be creamy and easy to spread or incorporate into your ice cream. - Store your speculoos spread
the speculoos spread into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It can be kept for about 2 weeks, and you can warm it slightly to make it more fluid before using it.
My Personal Tip:
This speculoos spread is perfect for making marbled speculoos ice cream by incorporating it directly into your base before churning it with the Ninja Creami. It's also delicious as a topping for vanilla or banana ice cream, or as a filling for frozen crepes. For an even more indulgent treat, try using it as a base for an iced milkshake—it's amazing!
There you have it, a homemade speculoos paste rich in flavors, ready to add a touch of spice and sweetness to all your Ninja Creami frozen creations.
