Cookie Butter Hot Cocoa Ice Cream Floats

During one of my visits to London, we stayed at a little hotel a bit off the main areas. It wasn't fancy but it had a minibar that included speculoos cookies. It was my first time trying them and I don't remember which brand they were but I definitely remember the cookies. They were sweet and spicy, crispy and definitely went well with my pot of tea. I thought about them for a while when I came home but didn't see them in my market so eventually forgot. Until...

A few years ago, speculoos spread (or cookie butter) started appearing on US shelves. I actually didn't buy it because I remembered how sweet the cookies were and imagined the spread would be too sweet for me. Until... Last year the infamous Waffles and Dinges truck parked itself near my apartment and assaulted me with the smell of fresh waffles and warm speculoos spread. I was a goner. So now there's a jar of Amoretti cookie butter in my cupboard and it has that sweet and spicy flavor and aroma I remember from my trip long ago.

Since I loved it warm, on the waffle, so much, I decided to play on warm and cold in this dessert. Warm cookie butter infused cocoa, cold ice cream and cookie butter hot fudge sauce. Feel free to toss a little rum in there, too. Enjoy!
