Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) coffee liqueur (optional - Tia Maria or Kahlua work well)
- 16 ounces (450g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, chilled
- 1/4 cup (60g) Biscoff spread, melted
- Approximately 30 Lotus Biscoff cookies
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions:
- Combine cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
- Dip each Biscoff cookie briefly in the coffee mixture. Do not oversaturate.
- Arrange a layer of soaked cookies on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the cookies.
- Drizzle half of the melted Biscoff spread over the cream.
- Repeat layers: soaked cookies, remaining mascarpone cream, and remaining Biscoff drizzle.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder. Slice and serve chilled.
