At the first glance, these may look like simple sandwich cookies, but the taste is far from simple. The decadent chocolate Lotus filling will have your friends and family raving — and begging for the recipe so they can get their next fix!
Yields about 25 sandwiches
Directions
1. Create a double boiler by placing a medium-sized heatproof bowl into a large pot of boiling water. Place chocolate chunks into the bowl. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
2. Add Lotus butter and stir mixture until Lotus is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in parve whipping cream and continue to stir until mixture is combined and thickened, about 20 minutes, making sure it doesn’t burn.
3. Set mixture aside to cool until mixture is firm enough to handle.
4. Form a log of the truffle mixture about the length of a Lotus cookie. Place between two Lotus cookies and squeeze the filling until it reaches the edges of the cookie and forms a neat sandwich. Continue until all the cookies are filled.
5. If desired, melt additional chocolate and drizzle over the sandwiches. Set aside to cool.
Notes:
These can be frozen in an airtight container or bag
Variations:
Instead of the Lotus sandwich pictured here, you can create a more traditional truffle by rolling the filling into a ball, then dipping each one into melted chocolate.
Are all Biscoff Lotus cookies kosher, or does it depend on where they are made? I found some in my local grocery store that are made in Belgium.
I just answered my own question. I found this note in another recipe:
Note:
Biscoff brand products, including Lotus Cookies, that are made in Belgium and are imported and sold in the US and Europe do not have a hechsher (kosher certification). Biscoff brand products that are produced for Israeli distribution are kosher and do have a hechsher in many kosher food stores around the world as an import from Israel. Please check products carefully for kosher certification before purchase.
Not all lotus cookies and spreads are kosher. It depends where they are made. As far as we know, only the products with a kosher symbol on them are kosher.
