Herb's take

Inspired by the indulgent Italian parfait tradition (think: semifreddo meets cookie jar), this layered dessert turns Biscoff cookie butter into a mousse, pairs it with crunchy cookie bits, and gilds the lily with sweetened condensed milk. You'll learn the fine art of folding for airy mousse and the architecture of parfait assembly.

Instructions

  1. 01
    Crush 8 of the Biscoff cookies in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs. Reserve the remaining 4 cookies for garnish.
  2. 02
    In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. 03
    Add the biscoff cookie butter, vanilla extract, and kosher salt to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. 04
    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks using clean beaters.
  5. 05
    Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture until just incorporated, then fold in the remaining whipped cream. Stop folding as soon as you have an even, airy mousse.
  6. 06
    Prepare the sweetened condensed milk drizzle by stirring 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  7. 07
    To assemble, place a heaping tablespoon of cookie crumbs in the bottom of each of 4 parfait glasses.
  8. 08
    Spoon or pipe a thick layer of biscoff mousse over the crumbs. Drizzle a teaspoon of sweetened condensed milk over the mousse.
  9. 09
    Repeat with another layer of cookie crumbs, mousse, and condensed milk so you have two layers of each, ending with mousse.
  10. 10
    Top each parfait with a final light drizzle of sweetened condensed milk and garnish with one whole Biscoff cookie per glass, standing upright.
  11. 11
    Chill parfaits for at least 1 hour before serving to set the mousse and meld flavors.
