Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- 250g mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 20–30 speculoos cookies (i.e. Lotus Biscoff cookies or any other brand)
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (125 ml)
- 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Set aside 4 short glasses or ramekins.
- Separate the eggs. The yolks and the whites of the eggs should be placed in two separate mixing bowls (large bowls).
- Add the sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture becomes pale and slightly foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the mascarpone and vanilla, whisk until mostly incorporated and set aside.
- Add the pinch of salt to the egg whites and whisk, using electric mixer on medium-high, until stiff peaks form.
- Fold a quarter of the whisked egg whites into the egg yolk-mascarpone mixture. In three more equal batches, gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Stop mixing once incorporated, be gentle! You’re looking for a fluffy mixture.
- Lightly dip the speculoos cookies in the brewed coffee.
- Building the tiramisus: At the bottom of each glass, start with a layer of cookies. Then a layer of the mascarpone cream, followed by another layer of cookies, and then mascarpone again. The top layer should be mascarpone cream.
- Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 3 hours. Dust with cocoa powder before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any sort of speculoos cookies for this recipe. Freshly baked varieties and store-bought ones vary slightly in flavor, but not so much that you wouldn’t be able to switch between them as needed.
- Make sure to properly separate the eggs!
- Be gentle when folding the egg whites into mascarpone mixture. Whisking or stirring quickly will deflate the mixture.
- Dip the speculoos cookies into the coffee quickly; don’t leave the cookies in the coffee too long.
