Easy Speculoos Tiramisu (In Glasses)
Description
Easy Speculoos Tiramisu (In Glasses) blends the unique caramelized spice flavor of Biscoff spread into a mascarpone cheese base enhanced by vanilla and a pinch of salt. This mixture is lightened with cold double cream whipped to soft peaks, resulting in a luscious cream that layers smoothly over the crumbly texture of coffee-dunked Biscoff cookies. The coffee-soaked cookie crumbs form a foundation that retains a slight crispness, adding depth to each spoonful.
The assembly in clear glasses showcases the alternating layers, making it suitable for individual servings or small gatherings. The cool, creamy profile with spiced cookie layers offers a refined twist on traditional tiramisu, especially appealing to those who favor Biscoff flavors.
To maintain the cream’s texture for decorating, the final mascarpone mixture can be adjusted thinner if using piping bags for topping. Careful whisking is needed to avoid overwhipping, which can cause dryness that hinders layering precision.
Ingredients
- 125 millilitre coffee cooled, strong, brewed, ½ US cup
- 250 grams mascarpone cheese 9 oz
- 100 grams Biscoff cookie spread 3.5 oz
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- salt pinch
- 300 millilitre double cream also known as heavy cream. Fridge-cold, 1¼ US cup
- 28 Biscoff cookies
Instructions
- Brew half a cup of strong coffee and pour it into a shallow bowl to cool down.
- Combine the mascarpone cheese, Biscoff cookie spread, icing sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk the ingredients together until they're light and fluffy, with a uniform coffee colour throughout the mixture.
- Add the chilled double cream to the mascarpone mixture.
- Whisk until the mascarpone cream is light and airy, with soft peaks forming on the whisk when lifted. Be cautious not to overwhip, as it may become too dry, making it difficult to layer neatly in the glasses.
- Briefly dunk a Biscoff cookie into the cooled coffee for 1-2 seconds.
- Crumble the coffee-dunked cookie into the bottom of the dessert bowl or glass, aiming for a 1cm thickness of cookie crumbs. In a standard whisky-sized glass, this generally takes about 3 cookies per layer.
- Top the first layer of cookie crumbs with a few spoonfuls of the mascarpone cream, levelling the top as best as you can.
- Repeat with another layer of cookie crumbs.
- Finish off with a final layer of mascarpone cream. If there's any cream left, you can use it for decorations on top. See note 1
- Add your desired decorations, such as drizzling warmed Biscoff cookie spread over the top, crushed cookies, half a cookie stuck into the cream or a light dusting of cocoa powder.
- Allow the tiramisu to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Whisk the mascarpone mixture gently to avoid overwhipping, which can dry out the cream and affect layering.
- Dunk Biscoff cookies briefly in cooled coffee to avoid sogginess while imparting coffee flavor.
- If piping decorations, reduce the final cream layer's thickness slightly to accommodate the piped cream on top.
