Ingredients

Biscoff Layer:

• 30 Biscoff cookies (plus extra for topping)

• ½ cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled

• 2 tablespoon Biscoff spread (optional, for layering)

Cream Filling:

• 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

• ⅓ cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

• 2 tablespoon Biscoff spread, melted (for drizzling)

• Crushed Biscoff cookies (for garnish)

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Prepare the Cream Filling:
   In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well blended and fluffy.

2. Soak the Cookies:
   Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each Biscoff cookie into the coffee for 1-2 seconds (be careful not to soak them too long or they’ll fall apart).

3. Assemble the Tiramisu:
   In an 8x8-inch dish or similar-sized serving container, arrange a layer of soaked Biscoff cookies. Spread half of the cream filling evenly over the cookies. If using, drizzle or dollop Biscoff spread lightly on top. Repeat with another layer of dipped cookies and the remaining cream mixture.

4. Chill:
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture and flavor.

5. Top and Serve:
   Before serving, drizzle melted Biscoff spread over the top and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies for a delicious, crunchy finish. Scoop and serve chilled.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Biscoff?

Yes! While Biscoff cookies are key to the flavor of this dessert, you can substitute them with other cookies such as speculoos or even ladyfingers if you prefer a more traditional tiramisu.

2. Do I need to use mascarpone cheese?

Mascarpone cheese gives this dessert its signature creamy texture and flavor. If you can’t find it, you can substitute with cream cheese, though it will alter the flavor and texture slightly.

3. How long does Biscoff Tiramisu need to chill?

The dessert should chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the ideal texture and flavor.

4. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, Biscoff Tiramisu is perfect for making ahead. It actually improves in flavor when stored overnight in the fridge.

5. Is there a non-dairy version of this recipe?

You can make a non-dairy version by substituting the mascarpone and heavy cream with dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream and a dairy-free cream cheese substitute.

6. Can I add alcohol to this recipe?

Yes, you can add a splash of coffee liqueur, rum, or any spirit of your choice to the coffee soaking mixture to make it an adult version of tiramisu.

7. How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Look for gluten-free Biscoff cookies, or any other gluten-free cookies that have a similar flavor and texture. This will make the recipe suitable for those who are gluten-sensitive.

8. How do I prevent the cookies from getting too soggy?

Quickly dipping the Biscoff cookies into the coffee is key—don’t let them sit in the coffee for too long, or they’ll absorb too much liquid and become too soft.

9. Can I use instant coffee for this recipe?

Yes, you can use instant coffee as long as you brew it strong. Espresso or brewed coffee will provide the best depth of flavor.

10. How long can I store leftovers?

Leftover Biscoff Tiramisu will last for about 2-3 days in the fridge, but it’s best when eaten within the first 24-48 hours for optimal freshness.
