Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookie Base
- 8 ounces Biscoff cookies
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
For the Cream Layer
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Garnish
- 2-3 Biscoff cookies, crushed
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare Coffee Mixture: Brew 1 cup of coffee and allow it to cool completely. If desired, stir in 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur to enhance the flavor.
- Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks are achieved.
- Mix Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until smooth and well incorporated.
- Soak Cookies: Briefly dip the 8 ounces of Biscoff cookies into the cooled coffee mixture to soften them without making them soggy.
- Layer Desserts: Arrange half of the soaked Biscoff cookies in the serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone and whipped cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat the layers with the remaining cookies and cream mixture.
- Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, dust the top with 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the surface for added texture and decoration.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee for a richer flavor in the dessert.
- Adjust coffee liqueur quantity or omit entirely if avoiding alcohol.
- Be sure not to soak cookies too long to prevent them from becoming overly soggy.
- The dessert can be prepared a day ahead, making it ideal for entertaining.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with whipped coconut cream as a vegan alternative, though traditional mascarpone is dairy.
