A mousse recipe with two ingredients should not taste this good. That is the honest truth about Biscoff Mousse — it achieves something that should require more complexity, more technique, and more time than it actually does. Biscoff cookie butter folded into cold whipped cream produces a mousse that tastes of caramelised spiced cookie in a cloud-light, silky-smooth dessert form.

I made this for the first time on an evening when I had approximately nothing in the house, a container of Biscoff spread, and some heavy cream that needed using. I whipped …

That’s the exact reaction I had the first time I made a Peach Cobbler Pound Cake. It takes the buttery, dense richness of a classic pound cake and layers cinnamon-spiced peaches right through the middle of it. Every slice tastes like your two favorite Southern desserts had a baby. A very delicious, very impractical-to-share baby.
