Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup eggnog
Soaking Liquid
- 1/2 cup hot coffee
- 1 tsp rum extract
Other
- 40 gingerbread cookies
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Crushed gingerbread cookies, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside gently to maintain volume.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and powdered sugar. Mix until pale yellow and smooth. Add mascarpone cheese and whip until the mixture is fully smooth and lump-free.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture until just combined and no streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the cream.
- Make Soaking Liquid: In a small bowl, mix hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog to create the spiced soak for the gingerbread cookies.
- Dip Cookies: Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie into the coffee mixture, fully but briefly, to avoid sogginess.
- Layer Base: Arrange 9 dipped gingerbread cookies in a single layer at the bottom of a 9×9 baking dish, filling in gaps as needed.
- First Filling Layer: Spread a layer of the whipped tiramisu filling evenly over the cookie base.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering dipped gingerbread cookies and tiramisu filling alternately until the dish is filled, aiming for about 4-5 layers, ending with a layer of filling on top.
- Dust and Garnish: Sift cocoa powder evenly over the top layer. Optionally, crumble additional gingerbread cookies and sprinkle over the cocoa for extra texture and decoration.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for 1.5 hours to let the flavors meld and the dessert set.
- Serve: Remove from fridge and serve by spoonfuls to enjoy the creamy, spiced layers of gingerbread and eggnog infused tiramisu.
Notes
- Use fresh, hot coffee for dipping to ensure the cookies absorb flavors but don’t become too soggy.
- Handle whipped cream and folding gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Eggnog adds festive flavor; substitute with milk or cream if unavailable but it changes the taste.
- Consume the tiramisu within 2 days for best freshness.
- For safety, use pasteurized eggs or an egg substitute if concerned about raw eggs in the yolk mixture.
