I love this vegan Biscoff tiramisu for its ideal blend of creamy cashew goodness with robust coffee flavor, elevated by speculoos cookies and a hint of cookie butter. The combination makes each bite irresistibly decadent and refreshingly surprising. It feels like a delicious twist on tradition, perfect for my modern sweet cravings.
I recently tried making this Easy Biscoff Speculoos Tiramisu and it quickly became one of my favorite vegan desserts. I start by dipping 30 Biscoff cookies into a cup of strong brewed, cooled coffee, which gives them a rich flavor and a slight crunch.
Then, I blend soaked raw cashews with coconut cream, Biscoff cookie butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until it’s super smooth. I also add two pitted Medjool dates, which were soaked in warm water for a bit, to naturally enhance the sweetness and nutritional value.
For an extra kick you can stir in a couple of tablespoons of coffee liqueur if you like. Once everything is layered, I dust the top with cocoa powder.
This recipe not only brings a unique twist to a classic treat but also provides healthy fats and protein in every bite. Enjoy this easy vegan treat that’s perfect for everyday indulgence.
Why I Like this Recipe
I like this recipe because it’s super easy to put together and the layers of flavors melt in your mouth. I love how the creamy cashew mix combined with the unique taste of Biscoff cookie butter gives it that rich, dessert-y feel. I really dig that it turns a classic tiramisu into something vegan and different, and the coffee-dipped cookies add the perfect kick of flavor. Lastly, I enjoy that it’s fun to make and always turns out better the second time around, even when I mess up a bit here and there.
This isn’t just any dessert recipe. It’s a cool twist on a classic tiramisu made totally vegan. I first discovered it on Epic Vegan Recipes from Addicted to Dates and i must say it got me hooked right away. The combination of Biscoff cookies, coffee, and a luscious cashew cream makes it super unique. It’s not hard to make, and even if you miss a step or two, it still turns out awesome. Trust me, once you try it and let it chill for a few hours, you won’t be able to get enough.

6. Spread a thin layer of this cashew cream in the bottom of your serving dish.
7. Quickly dip your 30 Biscoff cookies one at a time into the cooled coffee mixture (don’t soak them too long or they’ll get mushy) and place a row of them over the cream layer.

FAQ
Easy Biscoff Speculoos Tiramisu Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- Try using digestive biscuits or ginger snaps instead of the Biscoff cookies for a similar crunchy texture and flavor.
- If you dont have raw cashews, giving raw almonds or even macadamia nuts a go works well too.
- You can swap maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if you need a different sweetener option.
- No coffee liqueur? No worries, using Kahlua or even a splash of rum can give a nice twist.
Pro Tips
1. A little trick I learned the hard way is to keep an eye on how long you soak your cashews. The longer they sit, the smoother your cream gets so make sure you set a timer so you dont forget.
2. When you’re blending your cashew mix, stop and scrape the sides a couple times. This helps break up any clumps so your cream comes out nice and smooth every time.
3. Be super careful when you dip your cookies in the coffee – do it really fast so they dont get soggy. I used to leave them in too long and then they just fell apart in the dish.
4. If you wanna kick up the flavor, try adding a bit more coffee liqueur, but dont overdo it. A tiny extra splash is enough to give it that extra kick without messing up the balance.
