TIRAMISU SPECULOOS

If you're a fan of tiramisu, you're in for a treat with this no-bake version.

This recipe is a game-changer for those moments when you crave a decadent dessert but don't want to spend hours in the kitchen.

Plus, with its make-ahead convenience, it is the perfect dessert for entertaining.

If I were hosting a party, I would recommend making a Hot Gluten-Free Spinach Dip as a starter, followed by my Baked Pumpkin Risotto or Easy Penne Napoli as a main course, and then Tiramisu Speculoos as a dessert.

If you like creamy desserts then you will love my Crema Mascarpone. Looking for a vegan dessert? Lotus Cake could be your answer.

Ingredients needed and substitutions

HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM

MASCARPONE CHEESE: at room temperature.

WHITE GRANULATED SUGAR

COLD ESPRESSO: or instant coffee powder dissolved in hot water.

SPECULOOS COOKIES: I used Biscoff cookies

COOKIE BUTTER: Such as Biscoff Butter

COCOA POWDER: A tablespoon for dusting over the top before serving.

How to make Speculoos Tiramasu

Note: Please scroll to the full printable recipe card at the bottom for ingredient quantities and the method.

STEP 1:

Whip the Mascarpone Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overmix.

STEP 2:

Dip the Biscoff Cookies: Pour the cold espresso into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each Biscoff cookie into the espresso, allowing any excess coffee to drip off. Arrange a layer of dipped Biscoff cookies at the bottom of a serving dish (I recommend using a 9x9 baking dish) or trifle bowl to make a big statement!

STEP 3:

Layer with Cream Mixture: Divide the mascarpone mixture into two. Spread a layer of the whipped cream mixture over the dipped Biscoff cookies, ensuring even coverage.

STEP 4:

Repeat the Layers: Repeat the layers, starting with dipped Biscoff cookies and ending with a final layer of the whipped cream mixture on top. Make sure to finish with a layer of the cream mixture. In total, you will have four layers.

STEP 5:

Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 - 4 hours.

STEP 6:

Dust with Cocoa Powder: Just before serving, remove the plastic wrap and dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.

Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the delicious combination of Biscoff cookies and creamy mascarpone in this twist on traditional tiramisu!

What to do if I don't have a 9x9 baking dish?

• An alternative is a rectangular baking pan of similar size, such as an 8x8-inch pan. Adjust the layers accordingly to fit the pan's size.

• Individual Serving Dishes: You can assemble in individual serving dishes, such as ramekins, glasses, or small bowls.

• Trifle Bowl: A trifle bowl is a decorative glass bowl often used for layered desserts like trifle. It provides a beautiful presentation for the Biscoff Tiramisu and allows the layers to be visible through the glass.

• Pie Dish: A pie dish can also be used as an alternative if you don't have a square baking dish. While the shape may be different, it will still serve the purpose of holding and chilling the tiramisu.

• Disposable Aluminum Pan: If you're serving the tiramisu for a gathering or event and need a portable option, consider using a disposable aluminum pan. These pans come in various sizes and are convenient for transporting and sharing desserts.

TIPS AND TRICKS

Work Quickly: When dipping the speculoos biscuits into the espresso mixture, work efficiently to ensure they are lightly soaked but not overly saturated. A quick dip of about 1-2 seconds per biscuit should suffice to infuse them with coffee flavor without making them soggy.

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps to create a fluffy whipped cream mixture.

Use a Shallow Dish For Dipping: Pour the cold espresso into a shallow dish to make it easier to dip the biscuits quickly. This will help prevent them from absorbing too much liquid and becoming overly soggy.

Don't Over Whip! You do not want to over-whip your cream. As soon as the tips of the mixture are stiff, you need to stop whipping.

Even Coverage: When spreading the cream mixture over the biscuit aim for even coverage to ensure a consistent flavor throughout the dessert. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the cream mixture evenly.

Chill Time: Allow the assembled tiramisu to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set properly, resulting in a deliciously creamy texture.

Garnish Just Before Serving: Wait to dust the top with cocoa powder just before serving.

FAQS?

Can I make this an adult dessert? 😉

Absolutely! You can easily transform this Biscoff Tiramisu into an adult dessert by incorporating a splash of your favorite liqueur into the espresso or the cream mixture. Some popular liqueurs that pair well with tiramisu include coffee liqueurs (such as Kahlua or Tia Maria).

Make-ahead and Storage

Make-Ahead

1. Prepare in Advance: Biscoff Tiramisu is an excellent dessert for making ahead of time. It benefits from some chilling time in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set properly.
2. Assemble and Chill: After assembling the tiramisu according to the recipe instructions, cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This will give the dessert ample time to chill and set.
3. Garnish Before Serving: If you add cocoa powder or any other garnishes, it's best to do so just before serving to ensure they stay fresh and vibrant.

Storage

1. Refrigeration: Once assembled, Biscoff Tiramisu should be stored in the refrigerator to keep it chilled and maintain its freshness. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or transfer individual servings to airtight containers before refrigerating.
2. Best Consumed Fresh: Biscoff Tiramisu will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Can you freeze tiramisu?

Avoid Freezing: Due to the creamy nature of the dessert, Tiramisu is not suitable for freezing. Freezing can alter the texture and consistency of the cream mixture.
