Biscoff Tiramisu Chtiramisu Recipe

I absolutely adore this recipe because it combines the creamy richness of mascarpone with the delightful crunch of coffee-soaked Biscoff cookies for a flavor that’s irresistibly decadent. The subtle hints of coffee and vanilla, paired with the warm drizzle of Biscoff spread, make each bite feel like a cozy hug in dessert form.

I adore mixing the sumptuousness of mascarpone cheese with the intense flavor of Biscoff in my Biscoff Tiramisu. With a jolt from coffee liqueur and the sweetness of granulated sugar, this layered dessert takes on the role of the “irresistible” even more than usual.

The stage is set for a crunchy, cookie-based tiramisu with strong coffee flavor—the Biscoff cookies are not the only ones in the game. Will you take an indulgent bite?

Ingredients

• Heavy cream: Adds richness and smoothness; high in fat content.
• Mascarpone cheese: Provides a creamy, velvety texture; rich in fat.
• Granulated sugar: Sweetens the dessert; a simple carbohydrate.
• Biscoff cookies: Adds crunch and spicy sweetness; high in carbs.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder: Contributes a bittersweet, chocolatey touch; rich in antioxidants.
• Biscoff spread: Creamy and sweet; adds a unique spice flavor.

Ingredient Quantities

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz mascarpone cheese
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
• 1 pack Biscoff cookies
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup Biscoff spread

Instructions

1. In a big mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Put it aside.

2. In a different bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip them into a smooth and creamy filling.

3. Carefully mix the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined. It is very important at this stage to not deflate the cream. The incorporation must be done gently; if you mix too vigorously, you may end up with a flat mixture that is not light and airy.

4. In a shallow dish, blend the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).

5. Rapidly immerse every Biscoff biscuit in the coffee blend, making sure they are saturated but not oversaturated.

6. Put a thin layer of mascarpone cream on the bottom of your selected serving dish.

7. Lay dip Biscoff cookies in a layer on top of the mascarpone cream.

8. Half of the remaining mascarpone cream should be spread over the cookie layer. A second layer of dipped cookies should be placed atop this. Then, the rest of the mascarpone cream should be spread over these cookies.

9. Slightly warm the Biscoff spread until it is pourable, and then drizzle it over the top layer.

10. Sprinkle the top with cocoa powder. Place in a refrigerator for a minimum of four hours or overnight before serving.

FAQ

• Q: Can I substitute mascarpone cheese with cream cheese?A: Cream cheese is acceptable, but it will impart a different flavor and texture than what one typically expects with tiramisu, which uses mascarpone for its creamy richness.
• Q: Is it necessary to use the coffee liqueur?A: No, you don’t have to use coffee liqueur. It makes the flavor richer, but you can just leave it out for a version that has no alcohol.
• Q: How can I make this recipe ahead of time?A: Make the tiramisu and chill it for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
• Q: Can I use decaf coffee for this recipe?A: Yes, it is possible to drink coffee without the stimulating effects of caffeine. Decaffeinated coffee contains only a very small amount of caffeine but has the same great taste. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of drinking decaf coffee.
• Q: What can I use instead of Biscoff cookies?If Biscoff cookies are not available, you can substitute graham crackers or ladyfingers, although the flavor will be a little different.
• Q: How do I store leftovers?A: Seal the tiramisu securely and place it in the refrigerator, where it can stay for up to 3 days.

Substitutions and Variations

Mascarpone cheese has a creamy texture, but the flavor is more tangy. Substitute with cream cheese.
Sugar, granulated: For a smoother texture, use an equal amount of powdered sugar.
Almond extract: Use it to substitute vanilla extract if you want a more pronounced flavor in your baked goods.
Coffee liqueur: Replace with rum or leave it out entirely for a coffee liqueur that’s non-alcoholic.
Cocoa powder (unsweetened): For a richer taste, substitute with shaved dark chocolate.

Pro Tips

1. Chilling the Ingredients Before you start, chill your mixing bowls and beaters in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the heavy cream whip more efficiently and maintain better peaks.

2. Control the Coffee Soak When soaking the Biscoff cookies, dip each one quickly to avoid oversaturation. If they become too wet, they can make the dessert mushy. Aim for a quick dip on each side.

3. Mascarpone Smoothness Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This allows for smoother blending with the sugar and vanilla, preventing lumpiness.

4. Layer Consistency Use an offset spatula to spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the cookie layers. This will help achieve a consistent texture throughout the dish.

5. Enhance Flavor For added depth, sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt into the mascarpone mixture. This can enhance the overall flavor, balancing the sweetness, and intensifying the taste profile.
