Ingredients

Scale

Tiramisu 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

Dipping Mixture and Cookies

  • 40 gingerbread cookies
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee
  • 1 tsp rum extract

Toppings

  • Cocoa Powder, for dusting
  • Crushed gingerbread cookies, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside carefully to maintain the texture.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture becomes pale yellow and smooth. Add the mascarpone cheese and whip together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture. Mix until completely combined with no visible streaks.
  4. Mix Dipping Liquid: In a small bowl, combine hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog. Stir well to blend the flavors for dipping the gingerbread cookies.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Set up a 9×9-inch baking dish alongside your tiramisu cream, gingerbread cookies, and dipping mixture for assembly.
  6. Dip Cookies: Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie into the coffee mixture, ensuring it is coated but not soggy. Arrange 9 cookies to fit snugly on the bottom of the baking dish, filling any gaps with additional cookies if needed.
  7. Layer Cream: Spread an even layer of the whipped tiramisu filling over the soaked cookie base.
  8. Repeat Layers: Continue alternating dipped gingerbread cookie layers with the cream filling, creating about 4-5 layers in total. End with a top layer of cream.
  9. Add Toppings: Using a sifter, dust a generous layer of cocoa powder over the top cream layer. Optionally, sprinkle crushed gingerbread cookies for added texture and flavor.
  10. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 1.5 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
  11. Serve: Remove from the fridge and serve by the spoonful, enjoying the creamy, spiced flavors of gingerbread and eggnog combined in every bite.

Notes

  • Be careful not to soak the gingerbread cookies too long to avoid a soggy dessert.
  • Use fresh eggs or pasteurized eggs to ensure safety when consuming raw yolks.
  • For a boozy version, add a splash of dark rum or bourbon in the dipping mixture.
  • Can be made a day ahead and stored refrigerated to enhance flavor melding.
  • Use a sifter or fine mesh strainer to evenly dust cocoa powder for a professional look.
  • Gingerbread cookies with sturdier texture work best to hold layers without falling apart.
