💭 What is Biscoff spread?

Biscoff is a biscuit (cookie) made in Belgium, which is also made into the most glorious spread.

Biscoff biscuits and spread are made by a Belgian family company called Lotus.

The biscuits and spread are called either Biscoff, Lotus or Speculoos, which is the name it goes by in Holland.

Both the biscuits and the spread are suitable for vegans.

📋 Ingredients for Biscoff swirls

Here are the ingredients you need to make vegan Biscoff and chocolate pastry swirls.

• Puff pastry
• Biscoff Spread
• Dark Chocolate
• Ground Cinnamon
• Salt
• Demerara Sugar
• Icing Sugar (optional)

🥖 Ready-rolled puff pastry

Puff pastry is the type of pastry used to make these extravagant pastry swirls.

You can use homemade puff pastry or a block of ready-made puff pastry which you roll yourself.

Shop-bought puff pastry is such good quality, I never bother making my own anymore.

Ready-rolled puff pastry is even more convenient as it's ready to use and is a much neater rectangle of pastry than I could ever roll.

🥬 Is puff pastry suitable for vegans?

Most shop-bought puff pastry is suitable for vegans, although often it is unintentionally so, or what we would call accidentally vegan.

Just watch out for the pastry labelled 'all butter' as it is just that and never suitable for vegans.

🍫 Which type of chocolate is best in a pastry swirl?

Finely sliced shards of dark chocolate are what I use for these swirls, but here are a few chocolate options.

• Dark chocolate - finely cut into shards, or grated
• Chocolate chips (dark) - are a good option too
• Good quality dark chocolate vermicelli - these are like chocolate strands (sprinkles) but made from chocolate, not just coloured sugar strands
• Vegan milk chocolate - if you prefer the flavour

Also, try my Vegan Chocolate Chip Loaf Cake or Vegan Brownies with Mini Eggs for a chocolately treat.

🥄 Demerara Sugar for a Caramel Crunch

I finish these swirls with demerara sugar for that caramel flavour.

If you don't have, or can't find demerara sugar, you could use a soft brown sugar instead.

A white caster sugar could be used for sweetness, but you won't get that caramel flavour.

🧂 A dusting of icing sugar

Once they are cool, you can add a dusting of icing (confectioners) sugar to make them look pretty, but this is optional.

Just remember if the swirls are still hot the icing sugar will just melt away, so if you are serving these hot I wouldn't bother with icing sugar.

However, if you are serving these puff pastry pies cold for a snack or in lunchboxes, they would look great with a dusting of icing sugar.

🍥 How do you make swirls?

The swirls are super easy to make, just scroll down to my photo guide to see them being made step by step.

Just remember, you don't need to be too careful and it doesn't need to be perfect.

Work quickly once the pastry is out of the fridge and roll the pastry fairly firmly.

📖 Variations to puff pastry swirls

Here are a few ideas for changing up these little pastry tarts

• Biscoff spread - use peanut butter instead
• Chocolate - add dollops of chocolate spread instead
• Ground cinnamon - try adding ground ginger instead
• Banana - add thin slices of banana for added sweetness
• Raisins - add a bit of chew and interest

Vary these sweet pastries every time you make them.

Also, try Air Fryer Golden Syrup Flapjacks or if you want something even quicker and fancy a cream cake, try my Quick Vegan Iced Buns.

💭 Top Tip

Serve one of these swirls (while still hot) topped with a dollop of vegan vanilla ice cream (we love Swedish Glace) for the lushest of desserts.

Also, try my recipe for Vegan Biscoff Ice Cream (no churn) over on my main blog Tinned Tomatoes.

💭 Storing filo pastry parcels

These pastries are best served on the day you make them if you want to serve them warm.

They are also good served cold in lunchboxes.

Once cool, store them in an airtight container lined with kitchen paper to absorb any moisture.
