Spekulatius Tiramisu is my personal highlight of the season. Creamy, crunchy and Christmasy. All in one jar and so delicious. I’m already looking forward to when it’s finally Christmas and I can indulge in all the vegan goodies. My menu is set and starts with a fine beetroot carpaccio, followed by a delicious protein roast, topped off with this lovely tiramisu. It is also quick because the base is not baked, but also consists of speculaas cookies. The only thing that takes a little time is caramelizing the apples. But that is actually also done in no time. Who wants to try this delicious and simple dessert? Get in the kitchen and let’s go!
Speculoos tiramisu recipe – simple and fast
The fine dessert consists of three main components, caramelized apples, a homemade mascarpone cream and speculaas cookies. This is all piled on top of each other and finished with a thick layer of cocoa. What more could you ask for? That’s right, a plate of cookies after the dessert is eaten. As we all know, sweets always go.
It’s quick and easy to make, and you should be able to get the ingredients at any well-stocked supermarket or online store. What I can recommend you is a good blender. I use a Blendtec, which processes the cashews into a really firm, delicious mascarpone even without soaking. You can find the model I use in my store. Here I only recommend products that I have tested myself and found to be good.
I use a coated pan to caramelize the sugar. Do you perhaps have any experience with cast iron pans that you can share with the community? That would be great. Let’s help together, give tips and support each other.
Speculoos tiramisu without egg
Maybe you are now asking yourself why exactly you should choose this tiramisu? The difference from a “normal” tiramisu is the fruity from the apples and the crunchy from the speculoos. I like this super much and can only recommend everyone to try this combination once.
Is there anything else you should be aware of?
- Caramelize: the sugar becomes hot when melted, do not touch under any circumstances. This can lead to burns.
- Apples: Many bloggers peel the apples, I do not do that because the peel is very healthy and I use only organic apples. Conventional apples I would peel.
- Cashews & Xanthan Gum: The cashews do not necessarily need to be soaked. If your blender isn’t that powerful, or you just have the time and inclination, here are instructions for soaking. Xanthan gum is a natural thickener and ensures that the mascarpone becomes really nice and creamy. I recommend it in many dishes and have linked you to the product I use in the ingredients list.
- Spekulatius: If you don’t want to use store-bought cookies, here’s a recipe to make your own.
