Dubai Biscoff Brownie Recipe

2

When I first came across this Dubai Biscoff Brownie, I was captivated by its combination of textures: the fudgy brownie base, creamy Biscoff filling, and a crunchy twist with Kataifi (a traditional Middle Eastern shredded pastry). Each bite felt like a celebration of indulgence, nostalgia, and innovation coming together. That’s why I couldn’t resist diving into the kitchen to recreate this masterpiece myself—and now, I’m sharing my tested (and devoured!) recipe with you.

How to make Dubai Biscoff Brownie

A Dubai Biscoff Brownie is basically a fancy, viral-trend spin on a classic fudgy chocolate brownie that’s been popularized recently on social media and especially by the dessert chain Crumbl Cookies.

Ingredients

For the Brownie Base:

• 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1 cup (220g) brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (85g) cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking powder

For the Creamy Biscoff Layer:

• ¾ cup (190g) Biscoff spread (or Lotus Speculoos spread)
• ¼ cup (60ml) heavy cream

For the Crunchy Kataifi Topping:

• 1 cup Kataifi pastry (shredded phyllo dough), shredded into small pieces (optional, can be found in Middle Eastern grocery stores)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon sugar

For Decoration:

• ½ cup (80g) white chocolate chips, melted
• 2-3 tablespoons Biscoff spread for drizzling
• Lotus Biscoff cookies (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Brownie Base

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in granulated and brown sugar until well combined. Let it cool slightly.
3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined (do not overmix).
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and set it aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscoff Layer

1. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine Biscoff spread and heavy cream. Heat gently (on low flame or in 10-second intervals in the microwave) until smooth and spreadable.
2. Drizzle the Biscoff mixture evenly over the brownie batter. Lightly swirl using a knife or a skewer to create a marble effect.

Step 3: Create the Kataifi Topping

1. In a bowl, toss the shredded Kataifi pastry with melted butter and sugar until evenly coated.
2. Sprinkle the Kataifi mixture across the top of the brownie batter in an even layer. Don’t worry if it looks rustic—it adds to the beautiful texture during baking! (Note: If you can’t find Kataifi pastry, you can skip this step and finish the brownie with extra Biscoff drizzle and cookies.)

Step 4: Bake

1. Bake the brownie for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
2. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before adding the decorative toppings.

Step 5: Decoration

1. Once the brownie has cooled, melt white chocolate chips and drizzle them across the brownie.
2. Warm up 2-3 tablespoons of Biscoff spread (in the microwave for 10-15 seconds) and drizzle it as well for that extra layer of indulgence.
3. Garnish with Lotus Biscoff cookies or crumble them on top for a stylish finishing touch.

Tips for the Perfect Dubai Biscoff Brownie

• Don’t skip cooling time: For clean layers and neat slices, always let your brownies cool completely before cutting into them. Refrigerating them after cooling makes slicing even easier.
• Customize the crunch: If you can’t find Kataifi pastry, try crushed cornflakes or toasted shredded coconut for a similar crunch factor.
• Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar in the brownie base by ¼ cup.
• Storage: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Let them come to room temp before serving.
• Reheating for indulgence: Warm up a slice in the microwave for 10 seconds and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!

What to serve with

The Dubai Biscoff Brownie is already a luxurious dessert on its own, with its fudgy brownie base, creamy Biscoff swirl, and crunchy Kataifi topping. But why stop there?

• Vanilla Ice Cream: A classic option that pairs perfectly with the warm, spiced caramel flavor of the Biscoff spread. Use a premium vanilla bean ice cream for added depth of flavor.
• Salted Caramel Ice Cream: The sweet and salty notes of salted caramel amplify the caramelized flavor of the Biscoff layers. Add an extra drizzle of Biscoff spread or caramel sauce on top for decadence.
• Cinnamon or Spiced Ice Cream: A cinnamon-infused ice cream enhances the warm, toasty flavors in the brownie and complements the Middle Eastern-inspired crunch from the Kataifi.
• Chocolate Ice Cream: For true chocoholics, pair the brownie with a scoop of rich chocolate ice cream or dark chocolate gelato to double down on the indulgence.

Final Thoughts

This Dubai Biscoff Brownie is indulgent, rich, and packed with layers of flavor and texture.
