Spiked Biscoff Cookie Icebox Cake



Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking
Yield: would easily feed 10 people

Icebox cakes are amazing, and spiked icebox cakes are amazinger. With 5 ingredients and 15 minutes of prep, you have a gorgeous, delicious dessert!

Ingredients:
4 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup goldschlager (or cinnamon liquor or liquor of your choice)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 packages Lotus Biscoff cookies
caramel sauce for topping (optional; I used store-bought but this is a great from-scratch recipe)

Directions:
Combine cold cream, goldschlager, and powdered sugar in a chilled mixing bowl and beat to stiff peaks. Taste it to be sure the alcohol/sweetness ratio works for your tastebuds. In a trifle dish, place a layer of Biscoff cookies along the bottom, breaking them to fit as needed. Dollop whipped cream on top and spread it over the cookies to form about 1/4 inch layer of cream. Continue layering cookies and cream until you’re out of cookies, finishing with a layer of cream. Cover the dish and let it chill overnight so the cookies are softened. Heat the caramel sauce and then let it cool a bit so it won’t melt the cream. Drizzle it over top of the trifle and serve.

    I adore icebox cakes! Isn’t this the perfect time of year to start making them. I love the spiked touch!

    So glad the goldschlager worked out! Somehow I’ve made virtually every kind of cake but icebox cake…naturally I’d skip over the easiest thing to make. Can’t wait to find out what I’ve been missing!
    And thanks, as always, for the words of encouragement. I’m at a point in my life where I’m encountering more questions and challenges than answers and accomplishments. It helps to be reminded that God’s in control and He can redeem every low moment for His good purpose πŸ™‚

    Love this! The flavors and the simplicity are big winners. And how I don’t own any cinnamon liqueur is beyond me.

    I always try to remain optimistic and about 98% of the time I’m successful. The only times I am not looking at the bright side of a situation is when my wife is going crazy and she pulls me down with her. She’s the complete opposite when it comes to things like that and it’s always mentioned – “how can you be so calm?!” My answer is usually something along the lines of what you said – “What is happening is meant to happen and we’ll get out of it soon.”

    I think I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again.. Your students don’t know how lucky they are.

    Hello!

    What could I use instead of the liqueur?

      Charlie, you can just leave it out and it will still be delicious πŸ™‚ I might also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract in the whipping cream in its place.

        Is it really 1/4 CUP of liquor?

          Yes. That’s for the entire dish (10-12 servings), so when eating a serving, you’d be ingesting no more than 1 – 1.5 teaspoons at any given time.

    What an amazing post ! As a mom to two girls, the challenge everyday is training them to navigate through life with the “dust yourself up and try again attitude” even in the face of failure. First time on your blog, and can’t wait to read more!

    I would love to make this but do not have access to biscoff cookies – that would be a good substitute? milano cookies?

      Biscoff cookies have kind of a spicy graham cracker flavor — but like a billion times better πŸ™‚ I’d suggest ordering them on Amazon if you can, and if not, I’d substitute cinnamon graham crackers. Enjoy!!

    Is it my imagination, or is this cake screaming for summer and peaches? πŸ˜‰ It’s going on my “summer retreat” menu for sure.
