Lotus Biscoff Sandwich Cream: How It Differs from the Original, in summary: Two caramelised Biscoff biscuits with a cream filling between them: richer, softer in the middle and much sweeter than the plain biscuit. Eat one at a time, skip the dunk and pour something strong and unsweetened.

The sandwich is not simply more Biscoff; the filling changes what the biscuit is for. The plain round is a one-bite companion to a coffee, while this one stands on its own as a small sweet.

What the filling changes

A plain Biscoff is thin, hard and gone in a bite, which suits it to riding along with a strong cup. Put a soft, sweet cream between two of them and the texture runs crisp, soft, crisp, the sweetness stays on the palate for much longer, and the inner faces of the biscuits soften against the filling. It behaves more like a little confection than a saucer biscuit.

The biscuit on either side is the same idea Lotus has baked since 1932, flavoured with candy sugar syrup and cinnamon, and that cinnamon warmth still sits quietly under the sugar. What recedes is the snap: the outer faces still break, but the middle gives. If the snap is what you love about Biscoff, the plain carton or the wrapped Snack Pack is the better choice.

Allergens and the vegan question

By the published ingredient list for this barcode, the allergens in the Sandwich Cream are wheat (gluten) and soya, with a may-contain warning for milk. Candy sugar syrup and cinnamon, the two ingredients behind the Biscoff flavour, both appear on it. Lotus's vegan statement is made for its original biscuit rather than this line, so do not assume it carries over; the pack in your hand is the authority.

One practical note on keeping it. Left open, the pack draws in damp over a few days, and it is the outer biscuits that go soft first, so a limp Sandwich Cream has usually been left unsealed rather than badly made. At 150g the pack is small enough to finish while it is at its best; keep it closed and cool until then.

One at a time, with something plain

Do not dunk it. Warm cream has nowhere to escape, so the sandwich slumps and parts company in the cup instead of soaking up the tea. Eat it dry, beside the drink. And eat one, not three: sweet biscuit, sweet cream and sweet biscuit again leave nothing on the plate to cut the sugar, so the cup has to do it.

That makes the drink matter more than usual. A strong black coffee is the natural partner, since the whole Biscoff idea was built around that cup, and a strong unsweetened black tea does the same work. Avoid anything sweetened or syrup-flavoured. A mug of instant is fine at a desk; so is a brisk everyday tea with only a little milk.

FAQ

What is a Biscoff Sandwich Cream? Two caramelised Biscoff biscuits with a cream filling between them, sold in a 150g pack.

Can you dunk Biscoff sandwich biscuits? Not well. The warm filling makes the sandwich sag and come apart; if you want to dunk, use the plain Biscoff.

Does the Biscoff Sandwich Cream contain milk? The published allergen advice says it may contain milk. It contains wheat (gluten) and soya; check the current pack, as recipes can change.

Is it sweeter than the plain Biscoff? Yes, noticeably. Two sweet biscuits and a sweet filling make a much sweeter bite, so a strong, unsweetened drink suits it best.

Why has my pack gone soft? It was most likely left open. Damp air gets in within a few days and the outer biscuits lose their crispness first.

Curator's note: One, with a strong black coffee, after something savoury. Any more than that and the sugar wins. Lee, teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
