Ingredients you’ll need
This recipe doesn’t require anything fancy. In fact, you might already have most of these at home:
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 250ml double cream
- 100g icing sugar
- 150g Lotus Biscoff spread (smooth works best)
- 1 pack of Lotus Biscoff biscuits
- 200ml strong coffee, cooled
- Cinnamon for dusting (optional)
- Extra Biscoff crumbs or crushed biscuit for topping
Step-by-step: How to make Festive Biscoff Tiramisu
Follow these simple steps and you’ll have a show-stopping dessert in under 30 minutes (plus chilling time):
1. Make the creamy filling
In a bowl, beat mascarpone, double cream, and icing sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the Biscoff spread. The result? A rich, caramel-flavoured cream you’ll want to eat by the spoonful.
2. Soak the biscuits
Brew your coffee and let it cool. Then, quickly dip each Biscoff biscuit into the coffee—just a second or two, or they’ll get too soggy.
3. Layer it up
In a glass dish or individual cups, add a layer of soaked biscuits. Spread a generous layer of the Biscoff cream on top. Repeat with more biscuits and cream until the dish is full. The top layer should be cream.
4. Chill and finish
Pop it in the fridge for at least 2–4 hours to firm up. Just before serving, sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuits and a light dusting of cinnamon over the top. If you’re feeling extra festive, add a drizzle of warm Biscoff spread too.
Make it your own
One of the best things about this dessert? It’s easy to customise. Here are a few fun twists:
- Add a splash of Baileys to your coffee for a grown-up version
- Layer with sliced bananas or poached pears for extra texture
- Use vegan whipped cream and plant-based mascarpone to make it dairy-free
