Directions
Biscoff Mascarpone Cream:
-
In a clean bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, Biscoff cookie butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Whisk for 30-60 seconds until a creamy mixture has formed. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Add the cold heavy cream to the mixture and whisk on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until it reaches stiff peaks. The mixture should become pipeable and hold its shape. Use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom to ensure the mixture is homogeneous.
Assembly:
-
Dip the Biscoff cookies into the coffee for 1-2 seconds and create a layer of cookies in the bottom of your serving dish or cups. Optionally, you can break some cookies to fill any gaps.
-
Spread half of the Biscoff mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the cookies.
-
Repeat the process with another 2 layers of soaked Biscoff cookies and the remaining mascarpone cream mixture. If desired, save a little cream mixture for piping on top.
-
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
-
Once ready to serve, decorate with crushed Biscoff cookies and drizzle warmed-up cookie butter over the top.
