With the warm cinnamon notes of Biscoff cookies and the luscious mascarpone filling, this dessert is bound to be a new obsession!

Why Biscoff Tiramisu?

I’m always looking for new ways to elevate classic recipes, and this one was a winner from the start. The caramelized sweetness of Biscoff biscuits combined with velvety mascarpone cream creates a dessert so good, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it sooner. It’s everything you love about tiramisu, but with a hint of cozy warmth and spice!

What is Biscoff?

Biscoff, made by Lotus Bakeries, is a crisp, caramelized cookie with a hint of cinnamon. The name comes from the words “biscuit” and “coffee,” as these cookies were originally meant to be enjoyed alongside a hot cup of coffee. They became widely popular after being served on flights, earning the nickname “airplane cookies.”

There’s also Biscoff spread, a creamy, cookie-based butter with the same delicious taste. It’s perfect as a spread, filling, or topping for all kinds of desserts — including this tiramisu!

Serving & Presentation Ideas

Making a dessert is one thing, but presenting it beautifully? That’s where the magic happens! Here are a few ways to serve Biscoff Tiramisu in style:

• Trifle Bowl: Show off the gorgeous layers in a transparent trifle dish.
• Dessert Glasses: Perfect for individual servings at dinner parties.
• Paired with Coffee or Ice Cream: Serve alongside a cappuccino or espresso, or top with a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream.
• Extra Toppings: Garnish with crushed Biscoff cookies, cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or caramel drizzle for extra indulgence!

Flavor Variations to Try

Looking to switch things up? Here are some delicious twists on this Biscoff Tiramisu Recipe:

• Pumpkin Spice: Add a touch of pumpkin puree and spice to the mascarpone filling for a festive fall treat.
• Coffee-Infused: Stir espresso powder or a shot of coffee into the mascarpone mix for a deeper coffee flavor.
• Fruity Layers: Fresh berries, banana slices, or apple chunks add a refreshing contrast.
• Nutty Delight: Sprinkle chopped almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios for added crunch.
• Coconut Cream: Swap heavy cream for coconut cream or add shredded coconut between layers.
• Lemon Zest: A touch of lemon zest or juice gives a bright and tangy twist!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Nobody wants a soupy tiramisu or soggy cookies, so here’s how to get it just right:

• Don’t over-soak the cookies. A quick dip in the coffee mixture is all they need!
• Use cold mascarpone and heavy cream. This helps achieve the perfect fluffy consistency.
• Don’t overwhip the cream. Overwhipping can turn it into butter instead of a light, airy filling.
• Chill before serving. Let your tiramisu rest in the fridge for at least 4-6 hours for the best texture and flavor.
• Use a deep dish. A trifle bowl or deep baking dish keeps the layers structured.
