1/2 c. plus 9 tablespoons heavy cream, divided

2 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature

32 Speculoos cookies (such as Biscoff), finely crushed (2 1/2 cups crumbs)

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat 1/2 cup cream in a medium saucepan over low heat until bubbles form around edges, 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat. Add 11-ounce bag of chips and let sit 2 minutes; whisk until smooth. Whisk in cream cheese. Fold in cookie crumbs until combined. Transfer to a bowl and chill until firm, 2 hours or up to overnight.
