Dessert: Christmas Speculoos and Peach Cream
The perfect dessert: christmas speculoos and peach cream recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 100 ml Orange juice
- 2 Star anise
- 2 tsp White Chocolate Syrup
- 1 tsp Food starch
- 4 Peach halves, rest
- 12 piece Butter speculoos with chocolate
- 250 g Quark
- 3 tbsp Cremefine
- 2 tsp Maple syrup
- 0,5 tsp Cinammon
- 0,333333 tsp Ginger bread spice
- 1 tsp Natural orange peel aroma
- 1 Sachets Vanilla sugar
- 3 tbsp Sliced almond
- 1 tbsp Finely ground powdered sugar
- Quarter the peach halves and cut into thin slices. Bring the orange juice with the star anise and syrup to the boil. Mix the cornstarch with approx. 3 tablespoons of cold water, add to the saucepan and let thicken while stirring. Add the peach pieces, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool and steep, then remove the star anise.
- Put the speculatius biscuits in a freezer bag and roughly chop (e.g. with a frying pan). For the cream, stir in the quark, cremefine, maple syrup, cinnamon, gingerbread spice, orange peel aroma and vanilla sugar until smooth.
- Toast the sliced almonds in a pan without adding any fat (this goes very quickly, so always have a look at them) and let them cool.
- First divide the peaches into three dessert bowls. Then spread half of the crushed biscuits over the top, mix the other half with the roasted almonds and set aside. Pour part of the quark cream over the biscuit layer and smooth it out. Sprinkle on the biscuit and almond mixture, then lightly dust with powdered sugar.
- Serving and enjoying was a spontaneous idea as I still had peaches left from dinner. My husband was very enthusiastic, and I also liked the dessert because it wasn’t overly sweet. Have fun trying:-).
- TIP 6: I first discovered butter speculoos with chocolate this year while shopping, so I don’t know if you can get them everywhere. Alternatively, instead of the 12 chocolate cookies, I would take 10 butter speculoos or almond speculoos and mix them with 2 tablespoons of grated whole milk chocolate. The rest of the preparation is then as described in the recipe.
