Yogurt Tiramisu

The viral Biscoff-yogurt tiramisu. Zero mascarpone, zero regret.

WORTH ITThe rare viral dessert that's better than its video - and it's four ingredients.

tested 2026-07 Two-second dunks and an overnight chill are the whole game - longer dunks collapse, shorter chills taste like a parfait.

Prep: 15 min (plus overnight chill) Cook: 0 min Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (450g) full-fat Greek yogurt (5% - this is not the place for 0%)
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder plus more for dusting
  • 28-32 Biscoff cookies (about 1 1/2 packs) or 18 ladyfingers
  • Dark chocolate, for grating (optional)

  1. Stir yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Taste - it should be just sweet enough, not dessert-sweet; the cookies bring plenty.
  2. Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow bowl.
  3. Dunk cookies one at a time, 1-2 seconds per side - in and out. Biscoff dissolves fast.
  4. Lay a layer of dunked cookies in an 8x8 dish. Spread half the yogurt over them.
  5. Repeat: dunked cookies, remaining yogurt. Smooth the top.
  6. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, ideally overnight. The cookies soften into cake and the layers set.
  7. Dust generously with cocoa (and grated chocolate if using) just before serving.

Notes

  • Overnight is the recipe. At hour two it's cookies and yogurt; at hour twelve it's tiramisu.
  • Full-fat yogurt reads as cream. Low-fat reads as breakfast.
  • Real-deal upgrade: fold 1/2 cup whipped cream into the yogurt for a lighter, richer layer.

When it goes wrong

  • Soggy sludge layer → cookies dunked too long; two seconds means two seconds.
  • Tastes like plain yogurt → underchilled or unsalted; overnight, and don't skip the pinch of salt.
  • Runny layers → thin yogurt; use thick Greek 5%, or strain regular yogurt an hour in a coffee filter.
  • Bitter top → cocoa dusted too early absorbs moisture and clumps; dust at serving time.
