You may be used to seeing Bastogne biscuits paired with Christmas or winter flavors, but I really believe they work just as well with fresher flavors like lemon. Believe it or not, Bastogne, lemon, vanilla, and white chocolate make a fantastic combination – a fresh cake with a little twist.

And if you can’t find Bastogne biscuits where you are, no worries! You can instead use Biscoff/speculoos biscuits or another similar spiced biscuit.
