Easy Speculoos Tiramisu (2024)

What You’ll Need

• Biscuits – We alternate the layers with speculoos biscuits for their warming spices and sponge finger / savoiardi biscuits for lift and structure in the dessert. You can use both or just one type of biscuits depending on your preference.
• Coffee – Strong coffee is essential. We prefer using freshly brewed espresso coffee, but if you prefer to use instant, add an extra tsp or two of powdered coffee than you would normally for extra punch.
• Cream – Heavy / thickened cream is perfect for this recipe. Avoid pouring cream as it won’t whip up into that thick and fluffy cream layer you’re looking for.
• Biscoff Spread – This is the spreadable version of speculoos biscuits, also known as Biscoff spread or speculoos cookie butter. You can make your own speculoos spread out of spare speculoos biscuits, or sub with brown sugar and mixed spice.
• Vanilla Essence – Also known as vanilla extract. In Australia, they are essentially the same thing, however in other countries, extract refers to a more natural flavouring while essence is a synthetic flavouring. This just adds an extra hint of flavour to the Biscoff infused cream. Sub with a hazelnut or coffee liqueur for even more flavour!

• Next, dip the sponge fingers into the coffee and layer into the dish. Cover with another layer of whipped cream.

• Depending on the depth of your dish, repeat the steps with another layer of speculoos biscuits and sponge fingers as many times as you can before adding a final layer of cream.

• Pop in the fridge and allow to set for a minimum of 1 hour or overnight.

• Before serving, sprinkle with optional cocoa powder, crushed speculoos biscuits and speculoos cookie butter.
