Let me introduce you to my favorite twist on a classic dessert: Biscoff Tiramisu! When I first made this in my kitchen, combining those caramelly Biscoff cookies with creamy mascarpone, I knew I'd stumbled onto something special. The best part? You only need 6 ingredients and 10 minutes of hands-on time. No fussy baking or special skills required just pure dessert magic.

The Story of Biscoff

Ever wonder about those delicious little cookies served on your Delta flight? That's Lotus Biscoff! These crispy treats were made specifically to pair with coffee (clever name, right? Bis-coff = biscuits and coffee). They became such a hit that Lotus created Biscoff Cookie Butter, which is basically those amazing cookies transformed into a spread. Think Nutella, but with warm caramel and spice notes instead of chocolate.

What Makes Biscoff So Special?

If you've never tried Biscoff spread, imagine the most heavenly caramel butter with just a whisper of cinnamon. It's sweet but not overwhelming, with this wonderful warm, toasted flavor that makes you want to eat it straight from the jar (not that I've done that... okay, maybe once or twice!).

A Fresh Take on Tiramisu

While traditional Italian tiramisu uses rum-soaked ladyfingers and espresso, I've reimagined it with a Biscoff twist. We're swapping those ladyfingers for Biscoff cookies and adding that gorgeous cookie butter to our mascarpone cream. Since Biscoff was born to go with coffee, this combination is absolutely meant to be.

What You'll Need

  • Biscoff cookies: These beauties are the foundation of our dessert.
  • Coffee or espresso: The stronger the better trust me on this!
  • Mascarpone cheese: Spring for the good stuff like Galbani or Belgioioso.
  • Biscoff cookie butter: Let it come to room temp for easy mixing.
  • Sugar: Just a touch to balance everything perfectly.
  • Heavy cream: Keep it cold until you're ready to whip.

Let's Put It Together

Creating the Dream Cream
Start by whisking your cookie butter, sugar and mascarpone until smooth. Then fold in your cold cream until you get perfect peaks it should be pipeable but not too stiff.
Building the Layers
Quick-dip each cookie in coffee just 2 seconds! Layer them in your dish, then spread that gorgeous cream on top. Keep going until you run out.
The Final Touch
Pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with crushed cookies and drizzle with warmed cookie butter pure heaven!

Your Questions Answered

  • Not a coffee fan? Try milk instead, but use less sugar since Biscoff is already sweet.
  • No mascarpone? Cream cheese works too just make sure it's soft.
  • Different cookies? Any speculoos style cookie will do the trick.
  • Want to add booze? A splash of rum works beautifully.
  • Make ahead? Absolutely! It actually gets better overnight.

Keeping It Fresh

Your tiramisu will stay perfect in the fridge for about a week. Just wrap it well with plastic to keep the top from drying out. Though honestly, in my house it never lasts more than a day or two!

Common Questions About Cooking

→ Why does the mascarpone need to be chilled?

Cold mascarpone helps achieve the perfect texture when whipped with cream. Room temperature mascarpone can become grainy or separate during mixing.

→ Can I make this dessert alcohol-free?

Yes, this recipe is already alcohol-free, using only coffee to soak the cookies. Traditional tiramisu often includes coffee liqueur.

→ How long will this tiramisu keep?

The dessert keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cookies will continue to soften over time, creating an even more luxurious texture.

→ Can I freeze this Biscoff tiramisu?

While you can freeze it, the texture might change slightly upon thawing. It's best enjoyed fresh within a few days of making.

→ Why shouldn't I overmix the mascarpone?

Overmixing can cause the mascarpone to become grainy or separate. Mix just until ingredients are combined for the smoothest texture.
