Ingredients- 4 Ladyfinger cookies (or sponge fingers)
- 100g Heavy cream (cold)
- 15g Sweetened condensed milk
- 50g Mascarpone cheese (softened at room temperature)
- 30g Lotus Biscoff spread (cookie butter)
- 3 shots strong espresso (approx. 45-60ml), cooled
- 7 Lotus Biscoff cookies (for topping and garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, precisely measure all your ingredients. In a chilled bowl, combine the cold heavy cream (100g) with the sweetened condensed milk (15g). Begin whipping with an electric mixer or whisk on medium speed until soft peaks start to form. Ensure the cream is gradually incorporating the condensed milk.
Step 2
Once the cream has reached about 20% volume with light foamy texture, add the softened mascarpone cheese (50g). Continue whipping the mixture. Make sure the mascarpone cheese is smoothly incorporated without lumps. Whip until the cream reaches a smooth, luscious consistency, but avoid over-whipping.
Step 3
Now, gently fold in the Lotus Biscoff spread (30g) into the cream mixture. Continue to whip until the cream is firm and holds its shape well. You’re looking for stiff peaks – when you lift the whisk, the cream should stand straight up, holding its form. This firmness is key to the tiramisu’s structure.
Step 4
Pour the strong espresso (3 shots) into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each Ladyfinger cookie into the espresso, allowing it to absorb some liquid but not become overly soggy. Place two espresso-soaked Ladyfingers side-by-side at the bottom of your serving dish (a small square dish, about 10cm x 10cm, works well). They should fit snugly.
Step 5
Transfer the prepared Lotus cream mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Evenly pipe the Lotus cream over the Ladyfinger base in the serving dish, ensuring there are no gaps and the layer is consistent.
Step 6
Place 5 Lotus Biscoff cookies into a zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin or a heavy object to crush them into coarse crumbs. Generously sprinkle these Lotus cookie crumbs over the piped cream layer. For garnish, you can break the remaining 2 Lotus cookies into pieces and artfully arrange them on top.
Step 7
Voila! Your beautiful Lotus Tiramisu, dusted with golden Lotus crumbs, is ready to impress. It looks as delightful as it tastes, promising a rich caramel sweetness and creamy texture.
Step 8
See how easy that was? You can create such an elegant Lotus Tiramisu at home without any baking! Feel free to add a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.
Step 9
For a truly special presentation, tie a festive ribbon around the serving dish. This makes your homemade Lotus Tiramisu a perfect gift for housewarmings, birthdays, or any occasion that calls for a sweet celebration.
