Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs
  • ½ cup crushed toasted pecans 
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar (63 grams)
  • 4 Tbsp salted butter 
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon 
  • ½ teaspoon Allspice 
  • ÂĽ teaspoon Nutmeg 
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Place cookies in a food processor, and process until you have a mixture of finely ground and coarse crumbs. The coarse crumbs will give a delicious crunch and texture. 
  2.  In a medium bowl combine the crumbs and melted browned butter and mix until crumbs are evenly moistened.
  3.  If you are making a cake, press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with your fingers to form an even layer. For cupcakes, press a layer of crumble at the bottom of the liners. 
  4. Place in the freezer or fridge to set while you make the cake or filling.
