Ingredients:
- 500g chilled mascarpone cheese
- 300ml heavy whipping cream (minimum 36% milkfat)
- 300g smooth Biscoff spread, divided
- 60g powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla bean paste
- 250ml strong espresso, room temperature
- 30 Biscoff cookies
- 20 Savoiardi ladyfingers
- 2 tbsp dark rum
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk the chilled mascarpone and sifted powdered sugar until smooth and slightly aerated.
- Gently warm 150g of the Biscoff spread in the microwave for 15 seconds until fluid but not hot. Fold this into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla bean paste until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the Biscoff-mascarpone base in three additions, maintaining as much air as possible.
- Combine the room temperature espresso and dark rum in a shallow dish.
- Quickly dip Savoiardi ladyfingers into the coffee mixture (1-2 seconds per side) and line the bottom of a 9x9 inch dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Add a layer of dry Biscoff cookies for crunch.
- Repeat with remaining dipped ladyfingers and the rest of the cream mixture, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.
- Melt the remaining 150g of Biscoff spread and pour over the top to create a smooth glaze. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to set.
