Easy Speculoos Tiramisu

Speculoos Tiramisu

Speculoos Tiramisu is a simplified version of a traditional Italian dessert. It combines the irresistible flavors with the spiced charm of Speculoos cookies. No-bake and make-ahead too!

Gather all Ingredients

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Mascarpone cream: heavy whipping cream, mascarpone, confectioners sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Biscoff biscuits/cookies and cookie butter. Did you know that the Biscoff brand, and its parent company Lotus, began in a bakery in Lembeke, Belgium, in 1932? Lotus is still headquartered in the small town, and is run by the same family.
  • Coffee: a medium to dark roast coffee will be the best option as you will get the most prominent coffee flavors.
  • Cocoa powder. Did you know that cocoa powder is an end product after cacao beans have been fermented, roasted and pressed to extract most of the cocoa butter?
Ingredients

How to make this Recipe:

  1. Prepare Mascarpone Cream

    In a medium bowl, combine whipping cream, confectioners sugar, and vanilla. Whip into soft peaks, then add mascarpone and mix to combine. Spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream into four serving glasses, roughly smoothing the top.

  2. Dip Biscuits into the Coffee

    One at a time, dip four biscuits into the coffee, then place on top of mascarpone mixture in each glass. If needed, snap the cookies to fit before you dip them.

  3. Spread the Cookie Butter

    Spread the cookie butter onto four more biscuits and place these on top of the other cookies in the glasses. If needed, snap the cookies to fit.

  4. Add another layer

    Then, add another layer of mascarpone cream and repeat with a layer of coffee-soaked biscuits and cookie buttered biscuits.

  5. Finish and Enjoy

    Finish with a final layer of mascarpone cream. Finally, refrigerate for 2-3 hours (or overnight) to set, this allows the biscuits to soften then dust the tops with cocoa powder to serve.

Easy Speculoos Tiramisu: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add other flavors to Speculoos Tiramisu?

Yes, you can experiment with additional flavors. Some people add a touch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a splash of liqueur to enhance the taste.

Healthier Cranberry Orange Bread

Healthier Cranberry Orange Bread

Moist, flavorful, and loaded with fresh cranberries, this easy Healthier Cranberry Orange Bread is perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Choosing Wholesome Ingredients

Whole Wheat
One of the key steps in making Healthier Cranberry Orange Bread is selecting the right ingredients. Instead of regular all-purpose flour, I like using whole wheat flour. It adds a nutty depth to the bread and brings along the benefits of fiber. I like to use the King Arthur, 100% Organic White Whole Wheat Flour.

Natural Sweeteners
Swap out refined sugar for natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Not only do they add sweetness, but they also contribute additional nutrients and a more complex flavor.

The Importance of Fresh Ingredients

Fresh Cranberries and Oranges
I like using fresh cranberries and oranges. Fresh fruits not only enhance the taste but also provide a dose of vitamins and antioxidants. The natural juiciness of the fruits will also keep your Cranberry Orange Bread moist.

Many people consider cranberries to be a superfood due to their high nutrient and antioxidant content: Health Benefits of Cranberries. Incorporating cranberries into your desserts not only adds a burst of flavor but also brings a nutritional boost.
