Ingredients Overview
- Biscoff cookies (speculoos): One whole package brings that classic caramelized, spiced crunch. Other speculoos cookies can also be used.
- Espresso: Brewed and cooled. Strong coffee works as a swap.

- Powdered sugar: Just enough for sweetness. Maple syrup is a good refined sugar-free alternative.

- Cocoa powder: For the final flourish! Try cinnamon or espresso powder if you want a creative finish.
