• Heavy cream (cold)

Base & Garnish:

• Ladyfingers
• Strawberries
• Biscoff cookies

Extra Layers:

directions

1. In a deep bowl, combine mascarpone, whipping cream stabilizer, vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract), and granulated sugar. Mix for 1 minute.
2. Gradually pour in the cold heavy cream while mixing. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
3. Cut ladyfingers into thirds, then take one piece and further cut it into three smaller segments to use as the dessert base. Repeat until you have enough for full coverage.
4. Line a baking ring with plastic wrap and place it on a serving plate. Arrange full-length ladyfingers upright around the sides and press smaller segments into the base.
5. Pipe a layer of the prepared cream mixture over the base.
6. Add a layer of Biscoff spread, followed by a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies.
7. Pipe another layer of cream and smooth the surface with a spatula. Do not overfill the ring to allow room for the final topping.
8. Refrigerate for at least 4–5 hours, or overnight for best consistency.
9. Before serving, melt Biscoff spread until pourable and drizzle generously over the top.
10. Garnish with decorative Biscoff spread lines, halved strawberries, and cookie crumbs.

storage/reheating

Store the dessert in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. Since this is a no-bake, chilled dessert, it should not be reheated. It is best served cold directly from the fridge. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the mascarpone cream may be affected.

FAQs

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes, it’s ideal for preparing in advance. Make it the night before for best results.

What is whipping cream stabilizer, and can I skip it?

Whipping cream stabilizer helps maintain the firmness of whipped cream. You can skip it, but the cream may not hold its shape as long.

Can I substitute mascarpone with cream cheese?

Yes, but the flavor will be tangier and slightly firmer in texture.

What if I don’t have a baking ring?

You can use a springform pan, a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap, or even assemble it in a trifle dish.

Can I use store-bought whipped topping instead of making the cream?

Store-bought whipped topping can be used for convenience, but the texture and flavor will be different from the mascarpone-based cream.

Is it necessary to chill overnight?

While a minimum of 4 hours is sufficient, chilling overnight allows the layers to set and flavors to develop fully.

Can I use another type of cookie instead of Biscoff?

Gingersnaps or speculoos cookies are good alternatives, offering similar spiced notes.

How can I ensure clean slices when serving?

Chill the dessert thoroughly and use a warm, sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts.

Can I reduce the sugar in the recipe?

Yes, you can reduce the sugar in the cream layer to suit your taste, but it may slightly alter the texture.

What’s the best way to melt Biscoff spread?

Microwave it in short 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable.
