If you're unfamiliar with Biscoff, it is a brand of cookies produced by the Belgian snack food company [Lotus Bakeries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biscoff-sandwich-biscuit-espresso). The cookie is a mix of deep caramel, brown sugar, and warm cinnamon flavors, which means it's spiced like gingerbread, but also boasts a warm sweetness. Handel’s new Cheesecake with Biscoff Cookies flavor manages to capture this flavor by blending rich cheesecake ice cream with a [cookie butter variegate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-butter-creamer) made with a sweet Biscoff spread. The ice cream is also studded with Biscoff cookie pieces throughout for added crunch. The new Cheesecake with Biscoff Cookies flavor is available starting on August 3rd for a limited time.
