If you’re like me and love desserts that are rich, creamy, and packed with personality, this Biscoff Tiramisu is about to be your new favorite. It’s a twist on the traditional Italian classic, swapping out espresso-soaked ladyfingers for spiced Biscoff cookies and layering them with a smooth mascarpone cream. The first time I made this was on a rainy Saturday afternoon when all I wanted was comfort and a little indulgence. From the first spoonful, it reminded me of the warmth of fall and the joy of sharing something special. Let’s dive into why this dessert deserves a spot on your table.

Why Biscoff Tiramisu Feels Like a Hug in Dessert Form

A dessert that’s warm, comforting, and effortless
There’s something incredibly satisfying about desserts that come together without stress—and that’s exactly what Biscoff Tiramisu offers. Instead of the usual ladyfingers, this version layers spiced Biscoff cookies that soften perfectly between rich mascarpone cream. The result? A dessert that’s creamy, sweet, and full of character.

You won’t need to preheat an oven or worry about precise baking times. Just layer, chill, and enjoy. The longer it rests in the fridge, the deeper the flavors become. That makes this Biscoff Tiramisu ideal for planning ahead or making the night before a big gathering.

And if you’re already a fan of our gluten-free ladyfingers or our crowd-favorite tiramisu cake, this creative twist adds a cozy spiced element that fits any season.

Memories layered with flavor
Every time I make Biscoff Tiramisu, I think of those quiet afternoons when I was a kid, sitting at my grandma’s table with a mug of warm milk and a few Biscoff cookies to dunk. Turning those memories into dessert is what makes this dish so meaningful to me. It’s not just delicious—it tells a story.

The caramel flavor in the cookies pairs perfectly with the mascarpone and a touch of brewed chicory or mild coffee substitute. Together, they create a balanced taste that’s never overpowering, just smooth and comforting.

It’s a dessert that feels homemade in the best way—not too fancy, but definitely special. You’ll find that same comforting vibe in our chocolate strawberry cake and the nostalgic sweetness of our strawberry pound cake.

Biscoff Tiramisu fits right into that family of desserts—it’s easy to love, even easier to make, and leaves a lasting impression.

Only a few simple ingredients needed
One of the best parts of Biscoff Tiramisu is how approachable the ingredient list is. You don’t need anything fancy or hard to pronounce. At its core, this dessert is built from just a handful of staples: Biscoff cookies, mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a touch of brewed coffee or caffeine-free chicory. That’s it.

There’s no need for egg yolks or complicated custards here—this version keeps it simple while still delivering rich, layered flavor. If you want to make it more inclusive, you can even try it with our gluten-free ladyfingers layered in for a bit of texture variation.

You’ll find that many of these ingredients overlap with our limoncello recipe, especially if you’re already used to building creamy desserts from scratch. Once everything is laid out, all that’s left is assembling—and that’s where the fun begins.

Layering technique for the perfect bite
Start by dipping the Biscoff cookies quickly into your cooled coffee or chicory. You want them moist, not soggy. Next, spread a generous portion of your whipped mascarpone cream mixture over the top. Repeat the layering process until your dish is full—usually two or three layers do the trick.

The key is to chill the tiramisu for at least four hours, but overnight is even better. That resting time allows the cookies to soften and soak in the cream, turning each bite into a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Before serving, dust the top with crushed Biscoff crumbs for extra crunch and visual appeal. You can also add a swirl of whipped cream or a drizzle of cookie butter if you’re feeling extra indulgent.

Biscoff Tiramisu Tips and Irresistible Variations to Try

Little tricks that make a big difference
Making Biscoff Tiramisu is simple, but a few smart tips can take it from good to unforgettable. First, always chill your mixing bowl and whisk before whipping the cream—this helps you get a thick, stable consistency. When folding mascarpone into the whipped cream, go slow and gentle to avoid deflating the airiness.

Use full-fat mascarpone for the creamiest texture, and never skip the chilling time. Four hours is the bare minimum, but overnight allows everything to meld beautifully. If you’re planning ahead for a gathering, you can even prepare this dessert a day in advance and let the flavors deepen overnight.

Store it covered in the fridge, and if you’re serving leftovers, add a quick fresh dusting of cookie crumbs on top to bring back the texture. You’ll love how the flavors stay balanced—creamy and sweet, but not too heavy.

If you enjoy dishes with make-ahead charm, check out our strawberry pound cake which also benefits from resting time, or try our frozen chicken breast instant pot for easy weeknight prep tips.

Tasty twists for every occasion
Want to switch things up? There are countless ways to personalize your Biscoff Tiramisu. You can mix a spoonful of cookie butter into the mascarpone layer for a bolder caramel flavor. Or, add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries between the cookies and cream for a fruity surprise.

For a lighter version, use half whipped Greek yogurt and half mascarpone. It keeps the creaminess but adds a subtle tang that balances the sweetness. You can even make it in individual jars for easy portion control and portable treats.

Don’t want caffeine? Brewed chicory or even barley coffee alternatives work beautifully without sacrificing flavor. You can also skip the coffee element entirely and use milk flavored with cinnamon or maple.

Much like our strawberry cake recipe, this dessert adapts to what you have on hand. That’s what makes Biscoff Tiramisu so special—it’s as flexible as it is delicious, and there’s always room to make it your own.

Serving Biscoff Tiramisu Like a Pro – Tips for Presentation and Pairings

How to plate it for maximum wow effect
Even the simplest desserts deserve a stunning presentation, and Biscoff Tiramisu is no exception. When it’s time to serve, you can go classic by scooping generous portions straight from a dish, or elevate the experience by making individual servings in small glass cups or jars. This not only looks beautiful but also makes portioning easier for events or picnics.

Top your tiramisu with a layer of finely crushed Biscoff cookies or a drizzle of melted cookie butter for extra flavor and texture. A swirl of whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder can add that café-style finish. For something visually striking, try placing a whole Biscoff cookie upright in each serving—it gives height and crunch with zero extra effort.

For another dessert that looks just as good as it tastes, take a peek at our strawberry cake recipe, where presentation plays just as big a role as flavor.

Best drinks and sides to enjoy with it
Biscoff Tiramisu is already rich and indulgent, so it pairs well with drinks that balance or brighten the sweetness. A strong cup of decaf espresso or a spiced chai works beautifully alongside it. For something cooler, try an iced chicory latte or even a cinnamon oat milk blend.

If you’re planning a dessert spread, balance the richness of the tiramisu with something fruity or tangy on the side. Fresh berries, a minty fruit salad, or a sharp citrus sorbet can add brightness and contrast.

Want to pair it with something savory first? Serve it after a hearty but clean main dish like our sweet potato taco bowls to strike a delicious balance between bold and comforting.

The point is: Biscoff Tiramisu fits in anywhere—from elegant dinners to casual family gatherings. And with just a bit of care in serving and pairing, it can easily become the highlight of your meal.

Can I make Biscoff Tiramisu without coffee?

Yes, you can easily skip the coffee and still get amazing results. Many people use cinnamon-spiced milk or even chicory tea as a coffee-free alternative. It’s especially great if you’re serving this dessert to kids or avoiding caffeine altogether.

How long does Biscoff Tiramisu last in the fridge?

Biscoff Tiramisu stays fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days if stored in an airtight container. In fact, letting it rest overnight enhances the flavor and texture, making the cookies soft and the cream extra smooth.

Can I freeze Biscoff Tiramisu?

Yes, this dessert freezes surprisingly well. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a sealed container. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator for the best texture. It’s perfect for making ahead during busy weeks.

What can I use instead of mascarpone in Biscoff Tiramisu?

If mascarpone isn’t available, use full-fat cream cheese with a touch of heavy cream for a similar result. Greek yogurt also works if you want a lighter, tangier profile. It’s a flexible recipe that adapts easily to what you have on hand.
