Directions
Mascarpone Mix1. Whisk water, salt, sugar, until paste is formed. Add vanilla and honey and whisk until emulsified. Whisk mascarpone into mixture, add water if necessary to reach desired consistency.
Speculoos Cookies1. Cream butter and sugar together until smooth and light in colour. Whisk in egg until light and fluffy.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and fold into wet mixture until completely incorporated. Add extra flour if necessary to create adhesiveness (mixture should be slightly wet but not tacky).
3. Split into two rolls, wrap in plastic and let chill for at least 1 hour.
4. Remove from fridge and roll out with rolling pin on floured surface to 1/16-inch thickness.
5. Place on sheet trays with parchment. Bake at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes, until edges begin to brown slightly. Remove, flip, and cool on rack.
Speculoos Spread1. Combine cookies, brown sugar, and cinnamon and pulse in food processor until combined. Slowly add in coconut oil to emulsify. Add vanilla extract.
2. Slowly add water until paste is formed, then remove half. Continue to add water to remaining paste until thin. Slowly work reserved paste back in to mixture until peanut butter consistency is reached. If there is leftover paste add a slight amount of water and then add remaining paste. Continue until all paste is emulsified. Check seasoning.
Sweet Mascarpone Sandwich1. Grill the sourdough bread on a skillet until warm. Spread Marscarpone Mix and Speculoos Spread on bread. Drizzle apple blossom honey over it. Close the sandwich and sprinkle powdered sugar over the top.
