Lotus Biscoff Tiramisu without Alcohol (Biscoff Lasagna)

Lotus Biscoff Tiramisu without Alcohol (Biscoff Lasagna) - This is a recipe for the most delicious Tiramisu recipe with Biscoff/Speculoos. This No bake Tiramisu is light, rich and creamy. Tiramisu is the perfect make ahead dessert just like these other popular no bake desserts - Banoffee Trifle or Brownie Trifle . It is great for get togethers and equires very little effort to make. What's more? It is loved by all.

In this recipe, Coffee-soaked Biscoff biscuits are layered with a Biscoff cream. This is a super easy Tiramisu recipe that is made without Eggs and and therefore it is not a traditional Italian Tiramisu recipe.

What is Biscoff Tiramisu or Biscoff Lasagna? 

Last year I noticed a dessert recipe that was going viral and then I saw the title and thought..no thanks. Rachel's trifle from Friends came to mind.

Then I read about it and realised there was no meat or lasagna sheets involved. I read a bit more and I was sold. It looked and sounded rather delicious, so I gave it a try and loved it. The recipe was originally shared on this insta page.

I have since tweaked it a little. I changed it up by whipping cream with icing sugar and folding in mascarpone and biscoff for one of the layers.

Biscoff tiramisu is a simple tiramisu recipe with added Biscoff spread. Also included are coffee soaked Biscoff biscuits, coffee, cream, mascarpone, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon.

Is Biscoff British?

Biscoff Spread is actually a Belgian recipe. The story of Lotus Biscoff starts in 1932 in a local bakery in Lembeke, a Belgian town.
 
In Belgium, people would often eat their favourite biscuit on bread - whole, crumbled, dunked in a hot drink first.  
 
One day, a Belgian lady created a spreadable Biscuit recipe and entered it in a competition for a TV show. She made it into the finals and then worked with Lotus Bakeries to bring Lotus Biscoff Spread to life.

What is Biscoff?

Biscoff is the same as Speculoos spread which is made from Speculoos Cookie Crumbs/Spiced Gingerbread cookies. It is spreadable and can be spread on a sandwich as well as used in many dessert recipes.

The cookies are flavoured with warming spices such as cloves, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice.

Ingredients in Biscoff Tiramisu

Here is what you will need to make this recipe:

Lady fingers or Savoiardi biscuits 

These are traditionally used in Tiramisu but this version uses Biscoff biscuits. You can use just Biscoff biscuits or add some Savoiardi too.

Cream

Double or Heavy cream is ideal for this recipe.

Biscoff Spread

Or Speculoos spread. You can use the Lotus brand or any other brand.

Vanilla Extract/Essence

I prefer extract and use an alcohol free one.

Mascarpone

This thick, rich Italian cream makes this Tiramisu rich and creamy.

Coffee

Tiramisu isn’t Tiramisu without Coffee. I use strong coffee granules and hot water to soak the biscuits in.

Sugar

To sweeten the Cream. You can reduce the sugar quantity if you like.

Cinnamon

A pinch of Cinnamon adds flavour that mimics the Biscoff spread flavour. It can be skipped if you prefer.

How to make Biscoff Lasagna/Tiramisu

Add Mascarpone, Biscoff Spread, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Salt and Sugar to a large bowl or stand mixer.

Beat with electric mixer or stand mixer till combined.

Add Cream and beat for a further 2 minutes.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for 7 - 10 minutes till stiff/thickened.

Place bowl in fridge.

Make a cup of Black Coffee. Place the coffee in a bowl.

Dip the Biscoff biscuits very quickly in the coffee and add to the bottom of a 9 x 13 glass or metal dish.

Add a layer of Cream.

Next, add another layer of Biscoff biscuits. Repeat the steps with another layer of cream and biscuits until everything is used up. I got 2 layers.

Sprinkle over some Biscoff Biscuits at the edges.

Cover the dish with clingfilm.

Place into the fridge to set for 4 - 6 hours.

Recipe Notes and Tips

Fridge Time to Set

The Biscoff Tiramisu needs at least 4 hours to set in the fridge but it tastes better with time - it tastes best after 24 - 48 hours. 

Coffee

I use espresso instant coffee for a strong coffee flavour.

Cream

Do not overwhip the Cream, as it will split and turn into butter. Don't whip for longer then 10 minutes.

Biscuits

Dunk the biscuits quickly into the coffee. 2 seconds is more than enough. Any longer and the biscuit will begin to break down. I use Biscoff Biscuits only but you can also use some Savoiardi if you like.

Storage

Lotus Biscoff Tiramisu without Alcohol is best enjoyed within 24-48 hours.

Leftovers will last for 3 days covered in the fridge or in an airtight container.

Variations

Tiramisu Cups

Tiramisu is a great recipe to make in individual tiramisu cups. Just layer the layers into smaller dessert cups/glasses instead of a large dish. 

Other Flavours

This recipe can be made with Nutella & Kinder Bueno instead. Or make this Nutella Tiramisu.
