Speculoos and Macadamia Biscotti

Keto Recipes > Keto Dessert Recipes

I particularly love the fragrant smell of spices. It reminds me of Christmas! A family favorite is speculoos, a Belgian crispy spiced cookie that is addictively good. Heard of cookie butter? Biscoff? That’s speculoos.

Speculoos and Macadamia Biscotti

Twice baked, dry, crunchy biscotti plus the healthy goodness of macadamia nuts. You will never be wanting – a special treat to have (and dunked) in your ketoproof coffee.
