I love how easy and impressive these tiramisu cups are. The combination of tangy Greek yogurt and smooth mascarpone keeps the dessert creamy without feeling too heavy. The Biscoff cookies soften beautifully in the coffee while still holding a delicate texture.
I also enjoy how quickly everything comes together. In about twenty minutes, I can assemble a dessert that looks like it came from a café. These individual cups are perfect for gatherings, holidays, or simply treating myself to something sweet after dinner.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
24 Biscoff cookies
1 cup brewed coffee, divided
3 Tbsp cookie butter
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp espresso powder (optional)
1 cup whipped cream (optional)
Directions
I brew the coffee according to the package instructions and set aside 2 tablespoons. I pour the remaining coffee into a shallow bowl for dipping the cookies.
In a medium bowl, I mix the softened mascarpone, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. I add the Greek yogurt and stir until fully combined. Then I spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture into each serving glass.
I break two Biscoff cookies into pieces, quickly dip them into the coffee, and layer them over the creamy mixture in each cup.
I microwave the reserved coffee until hot, stir in the cookie butter, and drizzle a little over the cookie layer.
I continue layering the mascarpone mixture, coffee-soaked cookies, and cookie butter drizzle until the glasses are filled. I finish with whipped cream if I want an extra creamy topping.
In a small bowl, I mix the cocoa powder with espresso powder and dust it over the tops using a fine sifter.
I cover the cups and chill them in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.

Variations
I sometimes swap the plain Greek yogurt for vanilla Greek yogurt when I want a slightly sweeter filling. For a richer flavor, I like using espresso instead of regular brewed coffee.
If I want a little crunch, I sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies between the layers. I also enjoy adding a drizzle of melted chocolate on top for a more decadent finish.
For a lighter version, I use light mascarpone and reduced-fat Greek yogurt while keeping the same creamy texture.
storage/reheating
I store these tiramisu cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors actually get better as the cookies soften and absorb the coffee.
Since this is a chilled dessert, I do not reheat it. I simply take the cups out of the refrigerator a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
FAQs
Can I make these tiramisu cups ahead of time?
Yes, I often prepare them the night before serving. The extra chilling time helps the flavors blend beautifully.
Can I use cream cheese instead of mascarpone?
I can substitute cream cheese if needed, although the flavor will be slightly tangier and less rich than mascarpone.
Do I have to use espresso powder?
No, the espresso powder is optional. I use it mainly to deepen the coffee flavor in the cocoa topping.
How do I keep the cookies from getting soggy?
I dip the cookies very quickly into the coffee instead of letting them soak. This keeps the layers soft without becoming mushy.
Can I freeze these dessert cups?
I do not usually freeze them because the texture of the mascarpone mixture can change after thawing. I prefer enjoying them fresh from the refrigerator.
Conclusion
I love how these No Bake Biscoff Tiramisu Cups deliver all the cozy flavors of classic tiramisu with a fun cookie butter twist. The creamy layers, coffee-soaked cookies, and cocoa topping create a dessert that feels both comforting and impressive. Whether I make them for guests or as a simple family treat, these chilled cups always disappear quickly.

1 cup brewed coffee, divided
3 Tbsp cookie butter (Biscoff spread)

Instructions
Brew or prepare the coffee according to package directions. Set aside 2 tablespoons and pour the remaining coffee into a shallow bowl.

Spoon or pipe about 1/4 cup of the mascarpone mixture into each parfait glass.
Break 2 Biscoff cookies into pieces. Quickly dip them into the coffee and layer them over the mascarpone mixture in each glass.
Heat the reserved 2 tablespoons of coffee in a microwave-safe bowl until hot. Stir in the cookie butter until smooth. Drizzle 1–2 teaspoons over the cookie layer.
Add another layer of dipped Biscoff cookies, followed by another layer of mascarpone mixture. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled.

Notes
Dip the cookies quickly to avoid sogginess.
Chill longer for a firmer texture and deeper flavor.
Espresso powder enhances the coffee flavor but can be omitted.
For a sweeter dessert, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup.
Serve in small jars, glasses, or dessert cups for an elegant presentation.
