Everybody knows Tiramisù – this delicious evil dessert from Italy. Evil because it is sooo delicious I could eat it until eternity – but the calories inside are also infinite (or do you say endless?) Anways – way too much :P And the problem is you (or at least me) can hardly stop after one piece…
You can find also low-fat versions of this dessert, but let’s be honest – they are not as good as the original. That’s why my Christmas version has all the calories it needs to make it delicious and I am sorry for that – well almost :P May I introduce you…? This is Speculoos Tiramisù! Speculoos Tiramisù – this is your new BSTF (Best-Speculoos-Tiramisù-Friend) :P
I made speculoos myself this year for the first time – the result was really good! Since this cookies are all over the place around Christmas I thought I could try something I haven’t done before… oh and it doesn’t matter if you make the speculoos yourself or buy it in the store – works fine with any of those cookies.
This dessert will be the spectacular end of every Christmas dinner – I promise :) Not because you will fall asleep directly because you ate too much – no – because it is really delicious!
Best thing about this dessert – it is done in almost no time! The cream is mixed very quickly and the cookies are crumbled in no time – layer the cream and cookies into one of those cute mason ball jars you can buy at the online store lieblingsglas.de* for example and you will have a stunning looking dessert! I have a whole collection of these glasses already in different sizes because I like them so much. They can be used in so many ways…
If you wonder about the size of the glasses in the pictures – yes, I used quite big ones :) The recipe is supposed to feed 4 persons, but I only used two glasses. You either share with a loved one or eat it all by yourself. I did the last one… told you already I can eat Tiramisù until the end of time! :P You could also divide the dessert into 4 glasses :P
