A Sweet Escape: Biscoff Tiramisu Cups

If you love desserts that feel luxurious but take almost zero effort, you’re going to fall in love with these Biscoff Tiramisu Cups. Honestly, every time I make them, I feel like I’ve created a tiny masterpiece — without turning on the oven or spending more than fifteen minutes in the kitchen. They’re creamy, cozy, gently spiced, and packed with that signature caramelized Biscoff flavor that I can never get enough of. Plus, serving them in little cups makes the dessert feel extra cute and special, almost like something you’d find in a fancy café.

This recipe is perfect when you want something impressive but simple. Whether I’m hosting friends, surprising someone with a sweet treat, or just craving a late-night dessert, these cups always hit the spot. And I love that the portions are naturally controlled — though, to be honest, I could easily eat two without thinking twice.

Nutritional Benefits

While this dessert is definitely indulgent (as it should be!), it does offer a few little perks. The mascarpone adds protein and healthy fats that make the cream smooth and satisfying. Biscoff cookies contain warm spices like cinnamon that naturally help with digestion. And if you choose to lighten the recipe with Greek yogurt or reduced-fat cream cheese, you can enjoy the same creamy dessert with a slightly healthier twist. It’s all about balance — and this dessert gives you sweetness, richness, and comfort in the perfect spoonful.

Adaptable Variations

One thing I absolutely love about these tiramisu cups is how customizable they are. Here are some fun variations you can try:

• Lighter Cream: Mix half mascarpone and half Greek yogurt for a lighter but still creamy texture.
• Extra Coffee Kick: Add a splash of espresso to the cream mixture for a bolder tiramisu flavor.
• Chocolate Lovers: Add grated dark chocolate between layers or drizzle melted chocolate on top.
• Banoffee Vibes: Add sliced bananas between layers — trust me, it’s delicious.
• No Coffee Version: Dip the cookies in warm milk instead of coffee if you’re serving kids or avoiding caffeine.
• Holiday Twist: Add a pinch of gingerbread spice or nutmeg into the cream for a cozy seasonal flavor.

Biscoff Tiramisu Cups – Easy No-Bake Dessert

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese (softened)
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso (cooled)
• 1 pack Biscoff cookies
• 1/2 cup Biscoff spread (slightly warmed for drizzling)
• Extra crushed Biscoff for topping

Instructions

1. Make the cream mixture: In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla, then whip again until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix.
2. Prepare the coffee dip: Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow bowl. This will be used to lightly dip your Biscoff cookies.
3. Start layering: Quickly dip each Biscoff cookie into the coffee (don’t soak them; they soften fast). Place a layer of dipped cookies at the bottom of your serving cups.
4. Add the cream layer: Spoon or pipe a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over the cookies.
5. Repeat: Add another layer of dipped cookies, then more cream, depending on the height of your cups.
6. Top it off: Drizzle warmed Biscoff spread over the top and finish with a sprinkle of crushed cookies.
7. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours so the flavors blend beautifully.
8. Serve cold: These are best enjoyed chilled, straight from the fridge!

Practical & Valuable Tips

• Use cold cream: Cold heavy cream whips faster and gives you a more stable, fluffy texture.
• Don’t soak the cookies: One quick dip is enough — otherwise the cookies turn mushy.
• Make ahead: You can prepare these cups up to 24 hours ahead. The texture actually improves as the flavors sit.
• Perfect serving idea: Use small mason jars, mini dessert glasses, or even clear plastic cups for parties — they look adorable!
• Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. The cookies soften, making the dessert creamier over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I have to use mascarpone? Mascarpone gives authentic tiramisu flavor, but you can substitute cream cheese or Greek yogurt for a lighter twist.
2. Can I make these without coffee? Yes! Use warm milk, cocoa milk, or even chai tea for dipping the cookies.
3. Can I freeze them? Freezing isn’t recommended because the texture becomes icy — but they stay perfect in the fridge.
4. How long do they last? Up to 3 days in the fridge. After that, the cookies become too soft.
