Can This Vegan Biscoff Tiramisu Support Weight Loss Goals?
This is an indulgent dessert rather than a low-calorie food, so portion size is important if you’re following a calorie-conscious eating pattern. Enjoying a small serving alongside an otherwise balanced diet can still fit into many eating styles. Using unsweetened dairy-free yogurt and keeping the cookie butter portion moderate can reduce some of the added sugar and calories.
Does Vegan Biscoff Tiramisu Fit a High-Protein Lifestyle?
This dessert is not naturally high in protein because Biscoff biscuits and cookie butter primarily provide carbohydrates and fats.
However, using thick, unsweetened high-protein plant-based yogurt can increase the protein content of the cream layer.
A serving provides approximately 5 grams of protein with around 32 grams of net carbs.
For a more protein-friendly version, choose a soy-based or high-protein dairy-free yogurt.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Using runny yogurt — Choose thick dairy-free yogurt or strain it before making the cream.

- Serving too soon — Chill for at least 4 hours so the layers can properly set.
Required Equipment
- Hand mixer — Quickly creates a smooth, airy cream mixture.
- Mixing bowls — Keep the cream and coffee mixture easy to prepare separately.
- 8 × 8-inch baking dish — Creates neat, even dessert layers.
- Small spatula — Spreads the cream smoothly across each layer.

Storage Instructions

For the best texture, add the final cocoa dusting shortly before serving. Freezing is possible for up to 1 month, but the cream and biscuits may become slightly softer after thawing.

📝 Ingredients
For the Cream Layer
- 1½ cups (360 g) thick unsweetened dairy-free Greek-style yogurt
- ½ cup (120 ml) chilled full-fat coconut cream
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Biscoff cookie butter
For the Coffee Layer
- 1 cup (240 ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tbsp maple syrup, optional
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For Assembly
- 24 vegan Biscoff/speculoos biscuits
- 3 tbsp Biscoff cookie butter, gently warmed
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Note: Check the biscuit and cookie-butter labels to confirm they are vegan, as formulations can vary by product and region.
Directions
- Prepare the coffee: Brew strong coffee and allow it to cool completely. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla if using.
- Make the cream: Add dairy-free yogurt, chilled coconut cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons cookie butter to a bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for 1–2 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the dish: Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture across the bottom of an 8 × 8-inch dish.
- Dip the biscuits: Quickly dip each Biscoff biscuit into the cooled coffee for about 1 second per side. Don’t soak them until soft.
- Create the first layer: Arrange the coffee-dipped biscuits in a single layer over the cream.
- Add cream: Spread half of the remaining cream evenly over the biscuits.
- Repeat: Add another layer of coffee-dipped biscuits followed by the remaining cream. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Add Biscoff drizzle: Warm the remaining cookie butter gently for 10–15 seconds in the microwave or over low heat until pourable. Drizzle it over the top.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The cream should be firm and the biscuits soft but not mushy.
- Finish: Dust with cocoa powder immediately before serving.
High-protein tip: Use a thick, high-protein soy or pea-based dairy-free yogurt for the cream layer to increase the protein content without changing the basic preparation.
