Ingredients:

Biscoff Layer:

• 1½ sleeves graham crackers, crushed (204g)
• ½ package Biscoff cookies, crushed (about 16 cookies/125g)
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed (113g)
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (396g)

Biscoff Cream Cheese Buttercream:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113g)
• 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (56g)
• 1½ cups confectioners' sugar (180g)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 4 Biscoff cookies, crushed (31g)

Cookie Butter Drizzle (Optional):

• 1 tablespoon cookie butter spread (15g)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. A 9x9 pan works too.
2. Create the Base: Process graham crackers and Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and mix with kosher salt.
3. Make the Binding Mixture: Heat butter and sweetened condensed milk over low heat until butter melts. Pour over crumbs and mix thoroughly.
4. Form the Base Layer: Press mixture firmly into prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing buttercream.
5. Whip the Buttercream: Beat butter and cream cheese for 3-4 minutes until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla, mix until creamy. Fold in crushed cookies.
6. Assemble and Finish: Spread buttercream evenly over chilled base. If desired, warm cookie butter until drizzly and create a decorative pattern on top.
7. Set and Serve: Chill for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.

Storage Tips

Store covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

Recipe Notes

• Digestive biscuits make an excellent substitute for graham crackers if unavailable.
• For clean cuts, chill bars thoroughly and warm your knife between slices.
• Allow bars to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
