Ingredients

Scale

Cream Mixture

500 g cream cheese (40% fat)
250 ml whipping cream
200 g vanilla yogurt or natural yogurt
50–80 g sugar
1 tsp cinnamon sugar or ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons rum or speculoos flavoring (optional)

Cookies

200 g speculoos cookies

Instructions

Whip the Cream: Whip the cold whipping cream using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring the cream holds shape and adds lightness to the dessert.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese, vanilla or natural yogurt, sugar, and optional rum or speculoos flavoring with a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Fold Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, mixing slowly to maintain a smooth and fluffy texture without deflating the cream.
Break the Cookies: Break the speculoos cookies into bite-sized pieces by hand without cutting, to avoid excessive crumbling and to maintain texture.
Layer the Dessert: In serving glasses, alternately layer the speculoos cookie pieces and the cream cheese mixture until the glasses are nearly full, leaving about one centimeter of space from the rim.
Top with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the top layer generously with cinnamon sugar or ground cinnamon to enhance the spicy flavor.
Chill: Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least four hours, preferably overnight, allowing the speculoos cookies to soften and fully absorb the flavors from the creamy layers.
Serve: Serve the tiramisu cold, garnished optionally with fresh mint leaves or star anise for an attractive presentation and subtle aromatic enhancement.

Notes

Use cold whipping cream to ensure it whips properly to stiff peaks.
Adjust sugar quantity according to your preferred sweetness.
The optional rum or speculoos flavoring adds a nice depth but can be omitted for a non-alcoholic version.
Breaking cookies by hand preserves texture better than cutting with a knife.
Chilling overnight yields the best texture and flavor melding.
Can be prepared a day ahead to save time before serving.
