Copycat Delici Speculoos Cookie Butter Mousse Cups Recipe

Ever had a dessert so good you stopped mid-bite and thought, “I need to know how to make this”? That was me the first time I tried the Delici Speculoos Cookie Butter Mousse Cups from Costco. One spoonful of that creamy, spiced mousse layered with buttery cookie crumbs, and I was instantly hooked. The only problem? They disappear from shelves faster than you can say “cookie butter.” So, naturally, I decided to create my own copycat Delici recipe, and honestly, it’s just as dreamy, maybe even better.

Why People Love These Mousse Cups

In case you’re wondering what makes Delici Speculoos Cookie Butter Mousse Cups so addictive, the secret’s in the flavor balance. Speculoos cookie butter tastes like a mix of caramelized gingerbread and crushed spiced biscuits, sweet, cozy, and a little nutty. When whipped into mousse, it becomes silky and cloud-like, with that gentle warmth you only get from cinnamon and brown sugar.

The Delici brand, known for its Belgian chocolate mousse and other desserts, nails texture. Each cup layers a creamy mousse over a crumbly cookie base, and it’s packaged in those cute glass jars you’ve probably seen in the Costco fridge section. My homemade version hits all the same notes but lets you adjust the sweetness, thickness, and spice to your liking.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s the beauty of this recipe: you probably have most of the ingredients at home. To recreate that delicious mousse cup magic, you’ll need:

• 1 cup Speculoos cookie butter (Biscoff works perfectly)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup cream cheese or mascarpone
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup crushed speculoos cookies or “delights biscuits” for the base

If you’ve seen the Delici Belgian Chocolate Mousse 6 pk or other Delici desserts, the ingredient lists are usually simple: cream, sugar, eggs, and flavor base. This copycat keeps it the same way: minimal, indulgent, and totally beginner-friendly.

How to Make the Copycat Mousse Cups

Let’s get straight to the part everyone’s waiting for: how to actually make them.

Step 1: Build the cookie base.
Crush your speculoos or “delights biscuits” until fine and buttery. Press them gently into small dessert cups or jars. This mimics that satisfying crumb layer from the original Delici Speculoos Cookie Butter Mousse Cups you buy at Costco.

Step 2: Whip the mousse.
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix the cookie butter, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture gently; this step gives it that light, airy texture you expect from mousse.

Step 3: Layer and chill.
Spoon or pipe the mousse over the cookie base. Chill for at least two hours (overnight if you can resist sneaking a bite early). The flavors meld, and the texture sets beautifully.

Step 4: Garnish and serve.
Top with whipped cream, cookie crumbs, or even melted chocolate drizzle. I’ve even added a touch of Delici Belgian Chocolate Mousse on top once, total game changer.

Tips, Variations, and Troubleshooting

If your mousse turns out too soft, don’t panic; it happens. Try chilling it longer or adding a little extra cream cheese next time for firmness. Want to make it vegan or dairy-free? Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and a dairy-free cookie butter alternative.

For a fancier presentation, you can layer it in small glass jars like Delici desserts use. It makes them perfect for parties or as edible gifts. And if you’re thinking of experimenting, swirl in a bit of melted chocolate or top with crushed caramel cookies, it gives it that Delici Belgian dessert vibe.

Serving and Storage

These mousse cups keep well in the fridge for up to four days. Store them covered so they don’t absorb any fridge odors. If you’re planning a big event, you can prepare them two days in advance and add toppings right before serving. You can even freeze them for a chilled, ice-cream-like texture, but trust me, they rarely last that long in my house.

Where to Buy or Try the Original

If you’d rather compare your creation to the store-bought version, look for Delici Speculoos Cookie Butter Mousse Cups at Costco. They’re often near the bakery or refrigerated dessert section. You’ll also spot other favorites like the Delici Belgian Chocolate Mousse Cups or Delizia mousse cakes. If you can’t find them in stores, check online, many sites stock Delici desserts and other cookie butter mousse cups.
