Super Easy Cheat’s Tiramisu with Crushed Biscuits & Vanilla Ice Cream

Have you ever opened packet of your favourite biscuits just to find out they are all crushed? Then our instant tiramisu recipe is for you…

We have used here Lotus biscuits, also called spéculoos – very sweet spiced / ginger bread like biscuits for the base and vanilla ice cream instead of marscarpone cheese.

  • 2 tbs sweet (dolce) Marsala wine

METHOD

  1. Share broken biscuits into two glasses.
  2. Do the same with wine, coffee and ice cream.
  3. Top with cocoa powder or chocolate.
  4. Enjoy immediately.

TIPS

Sweet Marsala wine can be replaced with semi-sweet or even dry Marsala, just add some sugar to the espresso instead. Marsala wine is generally Italian port, so it would work in this recipe as well.
