For a little crunch, fold in some speculoos cookie pieces before transferring the cream to a clean jar. Store it in the refrigerator, where it will firm up slightly. Remember to take it out a little before serving for the perfect consistency.

• 150 grams (⅔ cup) cream, or condensed milk
• 50 grams (3 ⅔ tablespoons) butter, soft
• 2 teaspoons speculoos spice
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar, or honey, amount to taste

Instructions

• Finely grind the speculoos cookies using a food processor or kitchen chopper.

• Incorporate all the remaining ingredients and mix briefly until a creamy, homogeneous consistency forms.
• If desired, fold in coarse speculoos pieces for a delightful crunch.
