Hey, lotus lovers out there; this dessert is for you! It’s so easy to make that even my nine-year-old was able to do it on her own.

 

Yield

 

Ingredients:

2 cups whipping cream

¼ cup confectioners’ sugar

2 tablespoons vanilla sugar

6 tablespoons lotus butter

2 8-oz. packages lotus cookies

½ cup almond milk

2 teaspoons coffee diluted in 1 teaspoon hot water

 

Directions:

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form.

Add sugars and beat until stiff peaks form and set aside.

Line a large loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving overhang.

Place a ¼ of whip on bottom of pan.

In a small bowl, combine almond milk and diluted coffee.

Dip each lotus cookie into milk mixture, then place in a single layer over whip.

Place 2 heaping tablespoons lotus butter over cookies and repeat whip, cookies, butter, ending with whip on top.

Crush remaining lotus cookies and sprinkle over last whip layer.

Freeze for 2 hours or overnight.

Remove from freezer 10–15 minutes before serving.

Use plastic wrap overhang to remove ice cream loaf from pan, and slice.
