### 👩🍳 How to Make It
#### 1. **Prepare the Base:**
Crush the Lotus biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the base of a springform pan (8 or 9 inches), then chill in the fridge while you make the mousse.
#### 2. **Make the Mousse:**
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix the mascarpone, Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Stir in the dissolved gelatin until fully combined.
Pour the mousse over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 4–6 hours, or until fully set.
#### 3. **Prepare the Chocolate Glaze:**
Heat the cream until just about to boil, then pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Add butter for a glossy finish. Allow the glaze to cool slightly before pouring over the mousse layer.
Return the cake to the fridge for at least 1 more hour until the glaze is set.

### 🍫 Tips & Tricks
* **For a lighter texture**, use whipped cream only (no mascarpone), but the flavor will be milder.
* **Make it gluten-free** with gluten-free speculoos-style cookies.
* **Add crunch** by sprinkling crushed Lotus biscuits on top of the glaze before it sets.
* **Customize the glaze**: Use milk chocolate for a sweeter topping or white chocolate for contrast.
