No Bake Biscoff Tiramisu Cups with Greek Yogurt & Mascarpone

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I enjoy this recipe because it delivers all the flavors of a traditional tiramisu with a unique Biscoff-inspired twist. The Greek yogurt adds a light tanginess that balances the sweetness, while the cookie butter and coffee-soaked cookies create layers of rich flavor. I also appreciate how quickly these parfait cups come together, making them ideal for entertaining or preparing ahead of time.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened (about 8 ounces)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

4 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

24 Biscoff cookies

1 cup brewed coffee, divided

3 tablespoons cookie butter (Biscoff spread)

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)

1 cup whipped cream (optional)

Directions

1. I brew the coffee according to the package directions and set aside 2 tablespoons. I pour the remaining coffee into a shallow bowl.
2. In a medium bowl, I combine the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and softened mascarpone cheese until smooth.
3. I add the Greek yogurt and mix until fully incorporated and creamy.
4. I spoon or pipe about 1/4 cup of the mascarpone mixture into each parfait glass.
5. I break 2 Biscoff cookies into pieces for each glass and quickly dip them into the coffee.
6. I arrange the dipped cookies over the mascarpone mixture to create the first cookie layer.
7. In a microwave-safe bowl, I heat the reserved coffee until hot and stir in the cookie butter until smooth.
8. I drizzle about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the cookie butter mixture over the cookie layer.
9. I add another layer of coffee-dipped Biscoff cookies.
10. I repeat the layering process with more mascarpone mixture, cookies, and cookie butter drizzle until the glasses are filled.
11. If desired, I top each cup with whipped cream.
12. In a small bowl, I combine the cocoa powder and espresso powder.
13. I use a fine sieve to dust the cocoa mixture evenly over the tops of the dessert cups.
14. I cover the glasses and refrigerate them for at least 1 hour before serving.

Variations

I like customizing these tiramisu cups with different flavors and textures:

• I add a layer of crushed Biscoff cookies for extra crunch.
• I use flavored Greek yogurt such as vanilla for additional sweetness.
• I mix a little cinnamon into the mascarpone filling for warmth.
• I substitute chocolate cookies for a different dessert variation.
• I top the cups with shaved chocolate or caramel drizzle for a more decadent presentation.

Storage/Reheating

I store the tiramisu cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I keep them tightly wrapped to prevent them from absorbing refrigerator odors.

Since this is a chilled dessert, reheating is not necessary.

I find that the flavors become even better after several hours in the refrigerator as the layers have more time to meld together.

FAQs

Can I make these tiramisu cups ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare them a day in advance. The extra chilling time helps the flavors develop and improves the texture.

Can I use decaffeinated coffee?

Yes, I can use decaffeinated coffee if I prefer to reduce the caffeine content while maintaining the classic tiramisu flavor.

What can I use instead of mascarpone cheese?

I can substitute cream cheese in a pinch, although the texture and flavor will be slightly different from traditional tiramisu.

Do I have to use espresso powder?

No, the espresso powder is optional. I sometimes leave it out and still enjoy a delicious result.

How do I keep the cookies from becoming too soggy?

I dip the Biscoff cookies very quickly into the coffee rather than soaking them for an extended period. This helps them retain some structure while still absorbing flavor.

Conclusion

I find these No Bake Biscoff Tiramisu Cups with Greek Yogurt and Mascarpone to be a simple yet impressive dessert. The combination of creamy layers, coffee-soaked Biscoff cookies, rich cookie butter, and cocoa creates a luxurious treat that is perfect for dinner parties, holidays, or everyday indulgence. Since there is no baking required, I can prepare them with minimal effort while still achieving a dessert that feels sophisticated and memorable.
