Ingredients
- 250 g biscuits spéculoos
- 100 g beurre doux, fondu
- 400 g mascarpone
- 200 g crème fraîche
- 150 g caramel au beurre salé
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Crush the spéculoos biscuits in a large bowl until they become a fine powder. Use a rolling pin or a food processor. Add the melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into a 23 cm springform pan to form a solid base, smoothing the top for a neat finish.
- Make the Filling: In another bowl, whisk together the mascarpone and crème fraîche until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes at medium speed. Ensure the mixture is homogenous and free of lumps.
- Incorporate the Caramel: Allow the salted caramel to cool for 5-10 minutes after heating it until still liquid but not hot. Gently fold the caramel into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the Dessert: Pour the custard mixture over the spéculoos base in the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and gently tap the pan on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
- Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Serve: Once set, remove the dessert from the refrigerator. Carefully release it from the springform pan and serve in individual portions. Optionally, top with extra caramel or crushed spéculoos for garnish.
