Gingerbread Biscoff Poke Cake

As I was searching for a recipe for holiday dessert, I came across this Gingerbread Caramel Poke Cake from What's Cooking, Love?. It sounded great, but I wanted to use something other than caramel. I wracked my brain and decided that Biscoff Cookie Spread would be a great alternative. I also decided to use toffee bits instead of crushed gingersnaps.

Gingerbread Biscoff Poke Cake

Gingerbread Cake Mix + ingredients to prepare
Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1/2 can
Biscoff Creamy Cookie Spread - 1/2 container
Whipped Topping - 1/2 container
Toffee Bits

Make the gingerbread according to the package directions. I made mine in an 8x8 pan. After it has cooled completely, poke holes every inch or so with the end of the wooden spoon. Pour half a can of sweetened condensed milk into the holes. Heat the Biscoff spread in a microwave safe dish for 30 seconds or until a liquid consistency, and pour into the holes. Spread half the whipped topping container over the cake, pushing as much as possible into the holes. The whipped topping should form a frosting layer. Sprinkle with toffee bits. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. Can be made a day ahead.

 We were pleased with how this turned out. The Biscoff was a perfect combination for the gingerbread and toffee. Normally my family would turn their nose up at this, but they gobbled it down.
