Description

Festive Speculaas Tiramisu is a delightful holiday dessert that combines the rich flavors of coffee and spiced cookies, creating a unique twist on the classic tiramisu.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)
  • 1 package (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 package (7 ounces) speculaas cookies (or any spiced cookies)
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew your espresso or strong coffee and let it cool down to room temperature. Mix in the coffee liqueur and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Whip the mixture on medium speed until it forms soft peaks.
  3. Dip each speculaas cookie quickly into the coffee mixture, ensuring not to soak them too long.
  4. In a 9×9-inch baking dish, layer the dipped cookies at the bottom, followed by a layer of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat the layers until ingredients are used up, finishing with the mascarpone mixture on top.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and add whipped cream if desired. Slice and enjoy!
