Ingredients

  • 120 g gluten free digestive biscuit(s) I used Sainsburys but Tesco is Soy Free too.
  • 100 g golden syrup (corn syrup)
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 20 g coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp gluten free plain flour
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp cocoa powder

Instructions

To make your biscuit dust

  • I've made this process as simple as possible to get the smoothest version of Biscoff Spread.
  • Into a food blender (or smoothie maker) add the gluten free digestive biscuits, 50g caster sugar, 1tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp salt and 2 tbsps of gluten free plain flour.
  • Blitz the biscuits and dry ingredients until you have a fine biscuit dust.
  • Next, using the finest holed sieve you have, sieve the biscuit dust into a mixing bowl. Discard any crumbs left in the sieve, this will most likely be fine oat husks from the digestives.
    TIP: I find that my metal sieves holes are too large so use a plastic sieve I bought to make homemade kefir.

To make the biscuit spread

  • To the mixing bowl, add the golden syrup and coconut oil (no need to melt first). Using a 'K' or batter paddle beat the biscuit dust, syrup and coconut oil together until you have a thick paste.
  • Finally add a table spoon of cold water and re-beat, this will loosen the paste to a spreadable consistency.

Optional ingredient to taste

  • If you have some handy, add a teaspoon of caramel syrup (the kind you add to lattes). The biscuit spread will still taste like Lotus Biscoff without it, but adding the caramel syrup will intensify the flavour.

Optional process to blend

  • If you have a handheld blender, you could use it as a final stage to beat any remaining grainy bits out of the biscuit spread to make it as smooth as possible without industrial machinery!

  • Finally, spoon your spread into a sterilised glass jam jar, you'll need a 300g or more size jar for this spread. To store, keep it in the cupboard and use within a month.
    TIP: Keeping this in the fridge will make the spread harden, making it difficult to use.

Notes

I have been totally honest and said that I'm only 90% happy with this copycat homemade Lotis Biscoff Spread. If you have any thoughts or comments on how this can be improved then I welcome them in the comment box below.
