Ingredients

8 ounces good quality mascarpone cheese, chilled (226g)
1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter (140g)

2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Pinch of salt (optional)
2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled (480g)

50-60 Biscoff cookies
1 1/2 cups strong coffee or espresso

Instructions

Step 1: In a clean bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, Biscoff cookie butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Whisk gently for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 2: Add the cold heavy whipping cream to the bowl. Whisk on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture forms stiff peaks and is pipeable. Use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom for a uniform cream.
Step 3: Dip each Biscoff cookie into the strong coffee or espresso for 1 to 2 seconds, ensuring they soak but don’t become soggy. Place two layers of soaked cookies at the bottom of your serving dish or individual cups, filling any gaps with broken pieces.
Step 4: Spread half of the Biscoff mascarpone cream evenly over the cookie layer.

Step 5: Repeat the dipping and layering process with another two layers of soaked Biscoff cookies. Top with the remaining cream mixture, spreading it evenly or piping it decoratively if desired.
Step 6: Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to fully set.
Step 7: Just before serving, garnish the tiramisu with crushed Biscoff cookies and drizzle warmed cookie butter on top for added flavor and presentation.

Tips & Variations

If you prefer a sweeter dessert, feel free to increase the sugar slightly or add a touch more cookie butter in the cream.
For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of coffee liqueur or rum to the coffee used for dipping the cookies.
Use a piping bag with a star tip to create an attractive whipped cream topping.

Leftover tiramisu can be served in individual jars for a fun presentation and portion control.

Storage

Store the tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, consume within this period. Reheat is not recommended; serve chilled for the best experience.

FAQs

Can I use regular cream cheese instead of mascarpone?

While mascarpone gives tiramisu its signature creamy texture and mild flavor, you can substitute with cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream to soften it. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

How long should I soak the Biscoff cookies in coffee?

Soak each cookie for just 1 to 2 seconds to avoid sogginess. The cookies should absorb some coffee but remain firm enough to hold the layers together.
