- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
Place the softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl.
Add:
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
Beat for 2–3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
The mixture should be free from lumps and have a silky texture.
Step 2: Add the Biscoff Spread
Add the Biscoff cookie spread to the cream cheese mixture.
Mix until fully incorporated.
The mixture will become smooth, creamy, and light brown in color.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly combined.
Step 3: Whip the Cream
In a separate chilled bowl, pour the cold heavy whipping cream.
Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
This usually takes about 3–5 minutes.
Be careful not to overwhip.
The cream should hold its shape while remaining smooth.
Step 4: Fold the Mixtures Together
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Biscoff mixture.
Use a spatula and work slowly.
Avoid stirring aggressively because this can deflate the whipped cream.
Continue folding until no white streaks remain.
The final mixture should look light, fluffy, and airy.
Step 5: Transfer to Serving Dish
Spoon the mousse into:
- Individual dessert cups
- Ramekins
- One large serving dish
Smooth the top using a spatula.
This creates a clean and professional appearance.
Step 6: Chill
Place the dessert in the refrigerator.
Allow it to chill for at least 4 hours.
For the best texture, chill overnight.
The mousse will become thicker and more flavorful as it sets.
Step 7: Add Toppings
Before serving:
- Sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuits over the top.
- Add a drizzle of melted Biscoff spread if desired.
This adds extra flavor and visual appeal.
