This twist on a classic Italian tiramisu combines the toasty flavors of chai-spiced mascarpone with crunchy toasted pecans and the delectable caramel warmth of Biscoff cookies.
The classic tiramisu combines cold coffee with coffee liquor, which is delicious but can’t be enjoyed by kids or those who don’t drink alcohol.
This version is inclusive to everyone and adds an extra burst of flavor, so you won’t even miss the boozy kick.
Using the Biscoff cookies instead of ladyfingers adds a crunchy texture, along with the toasted pecans that contrast beautifully with the soft mascarpone layers.
This is the perfect dessert to make when you’re entertaining to impress your guests with something they’ve never tried before.

Instructions
Ingredients
Step 1- Prepare the Chai-Spiced Mascarpone Cream
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mascarpone, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until smooth and thick.
- Add the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is fully incorporated. Set aside.
Step 2- Toast the Pecans
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans until they’re golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning. Once toasted, set them aside to cool.
Step 3- Layer the Tiramisu
- In a shallow dish, dip the Biscoff cookies briefly in the cooled coffee (don’t soak them too long, or they’ll get soggy). Arrange them in the bottom of your serving dish.
- Spread half of the chai-spiced mascarpone mixture over the cookie layer.
- Sprinkle half of the toasted pecans over the mascarpone layer for a nice crunchy surprise.
Step 4- Repeat Layers
- Add another layer of coffee-dipped Biscoff cookies on top of the mascarpone and pecans.
- Spread the remaining mascarpone cream over the second cookie layer.
- Drizzle softened Biscoff spread over the top of the mascarpone cream.
Step 5- Finishing Touches
- Dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle extra crushed Biscoff cookies and toasted pecans over the top.
- For an added Biscoff boost, you can drizzle a little extra warmed Biscoff spread right before serving!
Step 6- Chill
- Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld together.
