Biscoff Ladyfinger Dessert Recipe

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Cream:

200 g mascarpone (room temperature)
16 g whipping cream stabilizer
8 g vanilla sugar
40 g granulated sugar
300 ml heavy cream (cold)

For the Extra:

Biscoff cookies (for garnish and layering)
Biscoff spread (for spreading and topping)

For the Base & Garnish:

Ladyfingers
Fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Biscoff cookies (for garnish)

Directions

1. Make the Cream:

In a deep bowl, combine the mascarpone, whipping cream stabilizer, vanilla sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix for 1 minute.
Gradually add the cold heavy cream and mix until stiff peaks form, creating a thick and creamy consistency.

2. Prepare the Ladyfingers:

Cut the ladyfingers into thirds. Take one piece and cut it again into three smaller pieces. This will be used to form the base layer of your dessert. Repeat until you have enough pieces to fill the base and sides of your dessert.

3. Assemble the Dessert:

Line a baking ring with plastic wrap and place it on a plate or coaster for easy handling.
Line the sides of the ring with ladyfingers and fill the bottom with smaller pieces of ladyfingers.

4. Layer the Cream and Biscoff Spread:

Pipe a layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Follow with a layer of Biscoff spread and Biscoff cookie crumbs.
Repeat the layers, but don’t overfill the ring, as there will be a final layer of Biscoff spread on top. Smooth the top layer for an even finish.

5. Set in the Fridge:

Allow the dessert to set in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dessert to firm up for the perfect texture.

6. Add the Final Layer:

Heat the Biscoff spread in a saucepan over low heat or microwave it briefly until it becomes liquid.
Pipe a thin layer of Biscoff spread over the top of the dessert.

7. Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with additional Biscoff lines, half strawberries, and Biscoff cookie crumbs for extra texture and decoration.
Slice and serve the dessert chilled. Enjoy!

Variations

Add Fresh Fruit: Consider adding a layer of finely chopped strawberries or other fresh berries between the cream and Biscoff spread for a sweet and refreshing contrast.
Vegan Option: Substitute mascarpone with dairy-free cream cheese and use coconut cream for the heavy cream to make this dessert vegan.
Add Salted Caramel: For a sweet and salty twist, layer some salted caramel sauce between the layers for an extra indulgence.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store the dessert in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days.
Freezing: If you wish to freeze this dessert, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of cookie for the base?

Yes! You can use any type of biscuit or cookie you prefer, such as graham crackers or digestive biscuits, if you don’t have ladyfingers.

2. Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Absolutely! In fact, it’s best to prepare this dessert the day before serving, as chilling overnight allows the flavors to develop and the structure to firm up.

3. Can I use store-bought whipped cream instead of making it?

While store-bought whipped cream can be used, the homemade mascarpone cream adds a richer and more luxurious texture to the dessert.

4. How long can I store leftovers?

The dessert can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Be sure to cover it tightly to prevent it from drying out.

5. Can I use a different spread besides Biscoff?

Yes, you can use other caramel-flavored spreads or even Nutella for a chocolate-hazelnut twist.

6. How can I prevent the ladyfingers from getting too soggy?

Quickly dip the ladyfingers into milk, coffee, or a mixture of milk and Biscoff spread. Make sure not to soak them for too long, as they will become too soft and may fall apart.

7. Can I add more layers to the dessert?

Yes, you can add additional layers of Biscoff spread, whipped cream, or even fruit for more texture and flavor.

8. Can I use vanilla extract instead of vanilla sugar?

Yes, you can replace the vanilla sugar with 1 tsp of vanilla extract for the same flavor.

9. How do I cut the dessert into neat slices?

Use a sharp knife, and for the cleanest cuts, dip the knife in warm water and wipe it between each slice.

10. Can I use a different ring mold for this dessert?

Yes, you can use any cake ring or pan as long as it’s lined with plastic wrap for easy removal. You could also use a springform pan if preferred.

Conclusion

This Biscoff Ladyfinger Dessert is a perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and crunchy textures, with a delightful caramel flavor from the Biscoff spread.
