Ingredients
Syrup
- 1 Cup water
- 1 Cup granulated sugar
- ½ Cup light brown sugar
- ½ Teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ Teaspoon allspice
- ¼ Teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ Teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 Teaspoon ground cloves
Mascarpone Filling
- 3 ⅓ Cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 18 Ounces mascarpone cheese (chilled)
- ½ Cup powdered sugar
- 3 to 4 Tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter
- 1 Pinch salt (optional)
Assembly
- 28 ladyfingers
- 12 or 13 Biscoff cookies (regular size)
- ¼ to ½ Cup Biscoff cookie butter (melted, for drizzle)
- 1 to 2 Ounces Biscoff cookies (crushed into crumbs, for topping)
Instructions
- Make the Syrup: Combine the water and both sugars in a saucepan. Simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should come to a simmer, but not boil.
- Add Spices: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Let the syrup cool to room temperature or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Beat the Cream: In a medium bowl, beat the chilled heavy whipping cream on medium-low speed for 3 to 4 minutes until soft-medium peaks form. If not reaching soft peaks, increase speed to high for 30 to 60 seconds while watching closely.
- Mix in Sugar and Salt: Add powdered sugar and optional salt to the whipped cream on low speed and mix until just combined without over-mixing.
- Prepare Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, fold together the cold mascarpone cheese and 3 to 4 tablespoons of Biscoff cookie butter using a spatula until well combined.
- Divide the Filling: Portion 1 to 1 ½ cups of the mascarpone filling into each of 3 separate bowls for layering, reserving some for topping.
- Prepare for Dipping: Pour the cooled syrup into a shallow glass bowl for dunking cookies.
- Dunk Biscoff Cookies: Dip each Biscoff cookie into the syrup for 1 to 2 seconds until just wet. Arrange about 12 cookies to cover the bottom of a 9-inch square glass pan.
- Layer Mascarpone: Spread one bowl of mascarpone mixture evenly over the arranged Biscoff cookies.
- Dunk Ladyfingers: Quickly dunk 14 ladyfingers in the syrup, letting excess drip off before layering them on top of the mascarpone layer.
- Spread Mascarpone: Spread the second bowl of mascarpone filling evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Second Ladyfinger Layer: Dunk and drain the remaining 14 ladyfingers, then add them on top of the mascarpone layer.
- Final Mascarpone Layer: Cover the second ladyfinger layer with the remaining mascarpone filling.
- Decorate with Piping: Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe dollops of the reserved mascarpone filling evenly over the top layer.
- Drizzle Cookie Butter: Melt Biscoff cookie butter and allow it to cool slightly. Drizzle over the piped dollops carefully to avoid collapse.
- Sprinkle Cookie Crumbs: Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs evenly on top for added texture and decoration.
- Chill: Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 8 hours or overnight to let it firm up and flavors meld before serving.
Notes
- Use chilled heavy cream and mascarpone for best whipping results.
- Do not over-soak the cookies to prevent sogginess; a quick dip is sufficient.
- The Biscoff syrup can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
- Allow the melted cookie butter to cool slightly before drizzling to maintain the structure of the cream dollops.
- Letting the tiramisu chill overnight improves texture and flavor integration.
