Crunchy Coffee & Vanilla Dessert with Speculoos Base

10. Top the vanilla layer with another thin layer of the coffee-chocolate mixture (optional) or scatter chopped hazelnuts over the top for crunch.
11. For a decorative finish, pipe swirls of the remaining vanilla cream along the edges or down the center using a piping bag.
12. Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 6 hours to firm up and allow flavors to meld.

💡 Tips

• Use very cold cream for the mascarpone layer to help it whip properly.
• Can’t find blond chocolate? Substitute with white chocolate and a tablespoon of caramel sauce.
• Make in advance — it gets better as it chills!

🍽 Serving Suggestion

Slice with a hot knife for clean layers. Serve cold with coffee or a dessert wine for a luxurious finish to your meal.

This dessert is creamy, crunchy, and just the right amount of indulgent — a layered masterpiece that’s as impressive as it is easy to make.
