FAQs

How far in advance can I make Biscoff Tiramisu Cups?

You can make them up to 2 days in advance and store them in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Can I use regular cream cheese instead of mascarpone?

What’s the best coffee to use?

Strong brewed espresso or instant espresso works best. Ensure it is cooled before using.

Are Biscoff cookies and Lotus biscuits the same?

Can I skip the coffee?
