Ingredients
For the Biscoff Crust
- 250g Biscoff cookies (about 2 cups crushed)
- 120g unsalted butter, melted (about ½ cup)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional — Biscoff is already sweet)
For the Lemon Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
- 1 can (14 oz / 400g) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed, about 3–4 lemons)
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon curd (optional, for extra lemon punch)
For the Berry Garnish
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- ½ cup raspberries
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
1. Make the Biscoff Crust
- Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and pounding with a rolling pin.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter (and sugar if using) until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan (with removable bottom if you have one), making sure to press it up the sides.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
2. Make the Lemon Filling
- In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until smooth and creamy.
- For extra lemon intensity, fold in the lemon curd.
3. Assemble the Tart
- Pour the lemon filling into the chilled Biscoff crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.
4. Add the Berry Garnish
- Just before serving, arrange strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top.
- Dust lightly with powdered sugar and add mint leaves if desired.
- For a glossy finish, brush berries lightly with warm apricot jam (optional).
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with extra whipped cream or a small dollop of lemon curd
