Ingredients:
- 100g mascarpone
- 250ml cold liquid cream (30% fat or more)
- 1 jar of speculoos spread
- Ladyfingers (or “spoon biscuits”)
- Cold milk (for soaking the ladyfingers)
- Speculoos cookies (for topping)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Speculoos Spread:
- Melt a portion of the speculoos spread in the microwave or over a double boiler until it becomes smooth and pourable. Let it cool slightly before transferring it to a piping bag for easy layering.
- Make the Mascarpone Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cold mascarpone and cold liquid cream together until stiff peaks form. Be sure the ingredients are very cold to ensure the cream whips properly.
- Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the speculoos spread into the mascarpone mixture and fold until well combined.
- Assemble the Tiramisu:
- Soak the ladyfingers in cold milk for a few seconds, allowing them to absorb some liquid without becoming too soggy.
- Place a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each serving glass or verrine.
- Pipe a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by a drizzle of the melted speculoos spread.
- Repeat the layering process with another round of soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and melted speculoos spread.
- Decorate:
- For a simple yet elegant finish, place a whole speculoos cookie on top of each tiramisu.
- Optionally, you can also dust the top with a bit of cinnamon or cocoa powder.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
Enjoy!
