Dreamy Cookie Butter Tiramisu

I created this treat while testing non-dairy desserts for my vegan niece. It came out amazingly good and now I make it whenever I want to wow dinner guests. There's something magical about those coffee-drenched Biscoff cookies paired with the smooth mascarpone mixture. Nobody can tell it's completely dairy-free.

What Makes This So Special

I'm a big fan of no-fuss cooking and love that there's no baking needed here. Those Biscoff cookies bring this incredible caramel flavor that works so well with the coffee notes. Every time I make this for friends, they all want me to share how I made it. Even my Italian grandma gave it her nod of approval, which means a lot.

Ingredients List

  • Lotus Biscoff Cookies: 1-2 packs; these take the place of traditional ladyfingers and give a distinct taste.
  • Biscoff Spread: ½ cup; brings a deep, caramelized sweetness to your cream layer.
  • Espresso or Strong Coffee: 1 cup; for dunking the cookies to build that classic flavor.
  • Vegan Cream Cheese: 1 cup; try Violife or whatever dairy-free brand you like best.
  • Vegan Greek-Style Yogurt: 1 cup; coconut or soy varieties work best for texture.
  • Amaretto (optional): 2 tbsp; gives a nice alcoholic touch to your coffee mix.
  • Lemon Zest (optional): 1 tsp; adds a bit of zing to the creamy layer.

Assembly Steps

Mix Your Cream Layer
Combine the vegan cream cheese, Greek-style yogurt, Biscoff spread, and lemon zest if using until you get a smooth mixture.
Fix Your Coffee Dip
Stir together your espresso or strong coffee with the Amaretto in a shallow dish.
Build Your Dessert
Quickly dunk one side of each Biscoff cookie into the coffee mix and arrange in your dish. Top with a third of your cream mixture. Do this two more times, placing cookies at different angles for better structure.
Rest and Finish
Let it sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours or leave it overnight. Before you serve, sprinkle some crushed Biscoff cookies on top for extra crunch.

Storage Tips

This dessert really gets better after sitting in the fridge for a while. The flavors blend together nicely after about a day. It'll stay good for roughly 2 days if kept covered, but at my house it's usually gone much faster than that. Always serve it cold for the best taste.

Quick Substitution Ideas

I once ran out of Biscoff spread and tried thick sweetened peanut butter instead. My kids actually preferred this version. While it doesn't have that signature spiced cookie flavor, it still makes a really nice creamy layer that goes great with the coffee-soaked cookies.

Final Thoughts

A fantastic dessert that upgrades tiramisu into a vegan-friendly treat using Biscoff cookies and dairy-free layers. Simple and tasty every time.

Recipe Questions & Answers

→ Can this dessert be made ahead of time?
Absolutely! It’s even better when prepared a day or two early. Storing it in the fridge lets the flavors meld nicely.
→ What if I don’t have vegan cream cheese?
If not strictly vegan, regular cream cheese works too. Just match the measurements to keep everything smooth.
→ Do I really need the alcohol?
Not at all. The dessert still shines without rum or Amaretto. Swap for vanilla extract if you’d like added flavor.
→ Why do my cookies turn soggy?
Quickly dip only one side of the cookies into coffee. Leaving them too long in the liquid will make them fall apart.
→ Can I freeze it for later?
Freezing isn’t ideal according to the creator. This dessert is best enjoyed fresh and chilled within a couple of days.
