Notes on Ingredients

- Speculoos spread: This adds the characteristic caramel-cinnamon flavor. Adjust the amount to taste.
- Vanilla (optional): A few drops of vanilla extract deepen the aroma.
- Whipped cream and Speculoos crumbs (optional): For an indulgent finish, top with whipped cream and crushed Speculoos cookies.
