THE ULTIMATE EASY BISCOFF TIRAMISU RECIPE

Step-by-Step instructions

Brew the coffee 

Brew up a strong coffee or espresso, and allow it to cool down until room temperature. You can add a splash of coffee liqueur to the coffee at this stage.

Note The aroma of coffee will fill the kitchen and you’ll want to keep sipping it.

Prepare mascarpone cream filling

In a large bowl, combine mascarpone with granulated (or brown) sugar until creamy and smooth.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the vanilla extract and heavy cream (cold). Whip until stiff peaks are formed.

Fold the whipped cream gently into the mascarpone mix in two additions. Use a spatula to avoid deflating the cream. The final product should be silky and light enough to pipe or spoon.

Soak Biscoff Cookies

Dip each Biscoff cookie in the coffee for a few seconds on each side. Do not oversoak, or the cookie will become mushy.

Place a layer of cookies soaked in water at the bottom of every glass or ramekin.

Filling

Spread (or pipe out) half the mascarpone cream mixture on top of the cookie layer. Smooth it gently.

Continue to add another layer of soaked cookies.

Then, finish by smoothing out the top with the remaining mascarpone cream.

Let flavors blend

Wrap the glass or dish in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for at least four hours.

The resting period allows the flavors to mix and the texture settles into the “just right” balance of soft and firm.

Before serving

Use a sifter to dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder unsweetened or chocolate shavings.

Add toppings just before serving to maintain texture and appearance.

Tips & Notes to Help You

• Folding the cream into the mascarpone should be done in a gentle “cut and fold” motion. This will keep it airy.
• Be careful with your coffee soak-time — Biscoffs are softer than Ladyfingers. So, go easy.
• It’s fine if you see liquid in the container prior to chilling. This is just a sign that flavors are concentrating.
• Cut the layers after they have cooled down. Cutting too soon can result in runny layers.

For Perfect Results

• For better whipping, use cold cream and mascarpone straight from the 
• refrigerator.
• Do not soak cookies for too long. You want them “just softened”, not soggy.
• After layering the glasses, lightly tap them on the counter. This will help release air bubbles.
• If possible, let it chill over night. The flavors will deepen and the texture will firm up beautifully.
• Add chocolate shavings or cocoa dust right before serving to keep it fresh.
• Serve the dessert with a metal spoon that has been chilled to create a contrast between the cold dessert and how your spoon warms it.

Topping suggestions

You can elevate your easy Biscoff Tiramisu by using these ideas:

Extra whipped cream dollop

Chocolate sauce or caramel sauce drizzle

Crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs

Chop toasted hazelnuts and almonds

Dark chocolate nibs or shaved dark chocolate

Dusting cinnamon or nutmeg

Fresh berries (raspberries or strawberries)

Flakes of sea salt — a sweet and savory twist

Mix and match toppings to suit your mood!

Recipe Alternatives or Variations

Here are some creative ways to make this easy Biscoff Tiramisu.

Tiramisu with Peanut Butter Biscoff

Stir in 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to the mascarpone mixture, before folding in the whipped cream. The nutty flavor pairs beautifully with spiced Biscoff.

Nutella Biscoff Tiramisu

After layering, gently swirl Nutella into each layer of the filling.

Banana Biscoff Tiramisu

Place a thin layer of banana slices between the cookie and cream. The banana softens the edge of coffee and gives it a fruity taste.

Mocha Biscoff-Tiramisu

Add a tbsp of unsweetened cocoa to the coffee soak, or the mascarpone mixture for a coffee and chocolate twist.

Layer thinner layers to give each bite cookie + cream. This is a great gift or for picnics.

You can experiment with the flavors you want.

Pairing Beverages

The following beverages are a great match for biscoff tiramisu because it is rich and warm with layers of coffee and cream.

• Espresso, or strong black coffee : Mirror the coffee vibe on the dessert
• Cappuccino or latte : creamy dessert meets milky foam.
• Dark roasted tea (e.g. Assam, rooibos): Earthy tea tones balance the sweetness.
• Dessert wine (e.g. Marsala, Vin Santo): if you want an elegant adult pairing.
• Iced coffee or cold milk is refreshing and easy.

You can choose your drink according to whether you prefer contrast or harmony.

Storing Technique

After assembly, wrap tightly in plastic wrap.

Keep in a refrigerator for up to 2 or 3 days. The flavors will continue to soften, so you’ll want to enjoy it within this time frame.

If the lid becomes damp, gently wipe it before opening.

It is not recommended to freeze cream or cookies, since the texture can be affected.

Remove from the fridge 10 minutes earlier if you are serving it again to allow it to soften slightly.

FAQs

Can I substitute regular ladyfinger cookies for Biscoff?

Yes, you will get a classic tiramisu taste. You’ll miss the caramelized spice that makes this biscoff special.

Can I prepare this in advance for a party or event? 

Absolutely — it’s best to make it a night before. The best way to get the perfect texture and taste is to chill it overnight.

Is there an alternative to dairy cream?

Try using a cashew cream or cream cheese substitute and coconut whipped crème. You can also use dairy-free cookies. Test the texture before serving.

How to reduce the sugar in this recipe by half?

Replace sugar with granular sweeteners such as erythritol or stevia blend. Taste as you go – mascarpone’s flavor can vary depending on the sweetener.

My filling is watery – what happened?

Most likely, you under-chilled or over-softened the cookies, releasing liquid. Next time, chill longer, drain any excess liquid and layer carefully.
