Has everyone started to get over the Lotus craze? Well, I am just getting started. Lotus Biscoff biscuits and cookie spread has been really in stardom for a few years but somehow, I just got hold of them and finally made my first dessert with them. I must admit that all the hype around these biscuits and spread is completely justified.

The most important question for me was what to make? Cheesecake? triffle? or a pudding? I decided to go with all three at the same time. I collaborated with my fellow bloggers @rabia and @henna. They were as excited to create desserts with Biscoff lotus. We ended by making baked biscoff cheesecake, biscoff cheesecake brownies and biscoff trifle. What a biscoff-ful treat!

I made Biscoff Cheesecake Brownie by simply layering my go-to brownies recipe with the cheesecake layer. I flavored the cheesecake filling with biscoff spread and finished it off with a beautiful swirl on top made with a toothpick. It was so delicious and scrumptious – I am just loving it.

Festivals bring reasons to celebrate and share love, flavored with our traditional cuisines and cherished with the joy of family & friends get-togethers. Diwali is going to be celebrated across the global this weekend with full zeal and joys. No festivals are complete without sweet and desserts. On this auspicious occasion, I dedicate my Biscoff Brownie Cheesecake to all my friends celebrating Diwali, specially to Raj from @pinkchai. She has been one of my most favorite inspirational entrepreneur, blogger, content creator and mom. she is doing exceptional work to teach and educate newbie’s like me.
