Why Stroopwafel crust is a game-changer
A stroopwafel crust is a delicious alternative to the traditional graham cracker or biscuit base. Made from finely crushed Dutch stroopwafels, it brings a rich and buttery flavor to your pie. The texture is slightly chewy with a hint of crispness, making it the perfect complement to creamy or fruity fillings.
