Biscoff Tiramisu

Biscoff Tiramisu is a creamy, dreamy, no-bake dessert that layers spiced Biscoff cookies with mascarpone cream and a hint of coffee. It’s a delicious twist on the Italian classic, with the caramelized flavor of Biscoff cookies replacing the traditional ladyfingers. I love how rich yet light it tastes, and how easy it is to assemble ahead of time for guests or just for myself.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • Biscoff cookies (also known as speculoos biscuits)
  • Mascarpone cheese
  • Heavy cream (or whipping cream)
  • Powdered sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Espresso or strong brewed coffee (cooled)
  • Biscoff spread (optional, for layering or drizzling)
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting on top)

Directions

  1. I brew strong coffee or espresso and let it cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, I whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
  3. In another bowl, I beat the mascarpone with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Then I gently fold in the whipped cream until combined.
  4. I quickly dip each Biscoff cookie into the coffee (just a second or two, so they don’t get soggy).
  5. I arrange a layer of soaked cookies in the bottom of a dish or pan.
  6. I spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the cookie layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  7. I repeat the process with another layer of dipped cookies and finish with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  8. I optionally drizzle melted Biscoff spread between layers or over the top for extra flavor.
  9. I cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  10. Just before serving, I dust the top with cocoa powder or crushed Biscoff cookies.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 6–8.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Chill time: 4 hours
Total time: 4 hours 20 minutes

Variations

Sometimes I mix a bit of Biscoff spread into the mascarpone layer for more cookie flavor. For a boozy version, I add a splash of coffee liqueur like Kahlúa to the espresso. I’ve also made individual servings in cups or jars, which are great for parties or meal prep. For a lighter version, I use Greek yogurt in place of some of the cream.

Storage/reheating

I store Biscoff Tiramisu covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. It actually tastes better the next day as the flavors develop. I don’t freeze it, since the texture of the cream can change after thawing. Biscoff Tiramisu

FAQs

Can I make this without coffee?

Yes. I’ve used milk with a bit of cinnamon or chai tea for a caffeine-free version, and it still tastes delicious with the Biscoff cookies.

Is Biscoff spread necessary?

No, but I love adding it for more depth. A drizzle on top or a swirl in the cream adds that extra cookie flavor.

Can I make this ahead?

Definitely. I always make it the night before I serve it — the chill time helps it set and intensifies the flavor.

Can I use cream cheese instead of mascarpone?

Yes, I’ve used softened cream cheese when mascarpone wasn’t available. It’s slightly tangier but still very creamy and works well in this recipe.

What kind of dish should I use?

I use an 8×8 inch square dish or similar-sized container. Glass works great so the layers are visible, but any casserole dish will do.

Conclusion

Biscoff Tiramisu is one of those desserts that’s effortlessly impressive — rich, creamy, and full of spiced cookie goodness. I love how it transforms just a few ingredients into a no-bake treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether I’m serving it to guests or sneaking a spoonful straight from the fridge, it always hits the spot.

Description

Biscoff Tiramisu is a creamy, dreamy no‑bake dessert that layers spiced Biscoff (speculoos) cookies with light mascarpone cream and coffee — a delicious twist on the classic Italian tiramisu. It’s indulgent yet simple, doesn’t require baking, and develops richer flavor when chilled overnight, making it perfect for dinner parties or cozy treats.


Ingredients

  • About 200 g Biscoff cookies (speculoos biscuits)
  • 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 23 tbsp Biscoff spread (optional, for extra cookie flavor or drizzling)
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting on top)

Instructions

  1. Brew a strong cup of espresso or coffee and let it cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, beat the mascarpone with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and lump‑free.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined, creating a light and creamy filling.
  5. Quickly dip each Biscoff cookie into the cooled coffee for 1–2 seconds (don’t oversoak — they should soften but not disintegrate).
  6. Arrange a layer of dipped cookies at the bottom of an 8×8‑inch (or similar) dish or pan.
  7. Spoon half of the mascarpone cream over the cookie layer and smooth it with a spatula.
  8. If desired, drizzle a thin layer of Biscoff spread over the cream for extra flavor.
  9. Repeat with another layer: dip cookies in coffee, arrange them over the cream, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  10. If you like, drizzle a bit more Biscoff spread on top before chilling.
  11. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours — ideally overnight — to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
  12. Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and optionally sprinkle with crushed Biscoff crumbs for texture.
  13. Slice into portions and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a more pronounced cookie flavor, stir 1–2 tbsp Biscoff spread into the mascarpone cream rather than just drizzling.
  • For a boozy version, add a splash of coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa) to the coffee before dipping the cookies.
  • If mascarpone is unavailable, you can substitute with an equal mix of cream cheese and Greek yogurt — the texture will be slightly tangier but still creamy.
  • Individual servings: assemble in jars or ramekins for portable dessert portions — great for parties or picnics.
  • This dessert tastes even better the next day as the cookies soften and flavors intensify. Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • A coffee‑free version: replace espresso with chilled chai tea, milk with a pinch of cinnamon, or simple cold milk for a milder flavor.
