Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml/8 fl oz) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (120 g/4.2 oz) cookie butter (such as Speculoos or Biscoff)
- 1 cup (100 g/3.5 oz) crushed speculoos or ginger snap cookies
- ¼ cup (30 g/1 oz) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Additional cookie crumbs
- Mini cookie pieces
- Caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Whip Cream Preparation: Chill a mixing bowl and whip cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, creating a light, airy texture that gently cascades when the whisk is lifted.
- Cookie Butter Blend: Smoothly combine cookie butter and vanilla extract in a separate bowl, ensuring a completely homogeneous mixture with no visible inconsistencies.
- Cream Integration: Delicately fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter base, maintaining the mixture’s voluminous character while achieving complete incorporation.
- Cracker Base Creation: Pulverize graham crackers into fine, uniform crumbs, then distribute evenly across the bottom of shooter glasses to establish a crisp foundational layer.
- Cream Filling: Transfer the prepared cream mixture to a piping bag with a decorative tip, then artfully pipe the filling into each glass, creating elegant spirals that nearly reach the rim.
- Final Embellishment: Garnish the tops with an additional sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs or a whisper of ground cinnamon for enhanced visual and flavor complexity.
- Chilling and Setting: Refrigerate the completed shooter cups for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize and the texture to achieve optimal consistency before serving.
Notes
- Cream Whipping Technique: Ensure the mixing vessel and whisk are cold to achieve optimal volume and stability for the whipped cream.
- Smooth Mixing Strategy: Blend cookie butter and vanilla thoroughly to prevent any lumps, using a spatula or whisk with steady, consistent motions.
- Folding Precision: Use a gentle, cutting motion when incorporating whipped cream to preserve its airy texture and prevent deflation.
- Chilling Importance: Allow sufficient refrigeration time to help the dessert set properly and enhance flavor melding and texture consistency.
