Speculoos spice - application

Spice chocolates

30 praline hollow bodies or hollow balls

70 g whole cream

1-2 pinches of speculaas spice

140 g dark couverture

Boil the spice together with the cream. The spice should always be boiled first and not just added. Then pour the mixture over the couverturedrops, wait briefly and then stir slowly until there are no more pieces. Fill the ganache into a piping bag, once it has cooled down a bit, you can fill the hollow praline bodies with it and then seal and decorate them with some tempered couverture.

With the powder you also give other treats the perfect spice. Roll fresh churros in a mixture of sugar and speculoos spice or add some of the powder to an apple compote. Once it is cooked down and cooled, you can layer it in glasses with a light curd or yogurt cream and some crushed Guetzli or ladyfingers. In this way you can create a wonderful winter dessert.

This little cake is a classic in Belgium, Germany, Holland, northern France and Switzerland. Originally, the speculoos cookie was distributed to children on December 6, St. Nicholas Day. Nowadays it is the ideal accompaniment to a cup of coffee, a tiramisu or even a duck breast!

With this speculoos spice mix you can prepare your own speculoos and spoil your friends and family with them.

Use 1 teaspoon of the mixture per kilo of dough.

The name "speculoos" has several origins. Some say the name comes from the Latin word "species" for spice. Others believe it comes from "Speculaas", a 17th century Dutch cake made with Indian spices.
