Ingredients

  • 16 Lotus biscoff biscuits/cookies
  • 150 g biscoff cookie butter (½ cup)
  • 60 ml strong coffee (¼ cup) warm
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar
  • 125 ml pure cream (½ cup) 35% milk fat with no thickeners added
  • 250 g mascarpone
  • tablespoon icing/confectioners sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
  • cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • Mix the brown sugar (½ tsp) into the warm coffee (60ml/¼ cup) to dissolve, then set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cream (125ml/½ cup), icing sugar (2½ tbsp) and vanilla essence (¼ tsp) and whip into soft peaks, then add mascarpone (250g) and mix to combine.
  • Into your four serving glasses, spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream into each, roughly smoothing the top as you go.
  • One at a time, dip four lotus biscuits (we will use 16 in total) into the sweetened coffee, then place on top of mascarpone mixture in each glass. You may need to snap the cookies to fit before you dip them.
  • Spread the cookie butter (150g/½ cup in total) onto four more lotus biscuits and place these on top of the other cookies in the glasses.
  • Then add another layer of mascarpone cream and repeat with a layer of coffee-soaked biscuits and cookie buttered biscuits.
  • Finish with a final layer of mascarpone cream.
  • Refrigerate for 2-3 hours (or overnight) to set, this allows the biscuits to soften (see my notes) then dust the tops with cocoa powder to serve.

Notes

  • You can brush the tops of the biscoff-buttered biscuits with more of the coffee while they are in the glass (I use a pastry brush for this) if you like. This will help to soften them.
  • The glasses I have used for this recipe (the ones in the photo) are 330ml (1 ⅓cup) capacity. This would be the minimum size I would use, and bigger is fine too.
  • When you are soaking the biscuits in the coffee, don't leave them sitting in the coffee for too long or they will get too soft to pick up in one piece. They are easier to work with than the traditional ladyfinger/savoiardi biscuits, but they can still go soft if left for too long in the coffee.
  • You can add a little more icing sugar to the mascarpone/cream mixture, just give it a taste to check it once it's mixed together.
