Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup eggnog

Assembly

  • 40 gingerbread cookies
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee
  • 1 tsp rum extract
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Crushed gingerbread cookies, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside carefully to maintain the volume.
  2. Prepare the mascarpone mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture is pale yellow and well combined. Add the mascarpone cheese and mix until smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture until fully combined and smooth, with no streaks remaining.
  4. Mix dipping liquid: In a small bowl, combine the hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog. Stir well to blend the flavors for dipping the gingerbread cookies.
  5. Prepare the baking dish: Arrange a clean 9×9 inch baking dish and have your tiramisu filling, gingerbread cookies, and coffee mixture ready for assembly.
  6. Dip cookies: Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie into the coffee mixture, ensuring it is fully dipped but not soaked through, then place them in a single layer at the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange about 9 cookies to fill the bottom as needed.
  7. Add filling layer: Spread an even layer of the whipped tiramisu filling over the dipped gingerbread cookies.
  8. Repeat layers: Alternate dipped gingerbread cookies and filling layers until you reach the top of the dish, approximately 4-5 layers, ending with a layer of filling.
  9. Finish with toppings: Use a sifter to dust cocoa powder evenly over the top layer of filling. Sprinkle crushed gingerbread cookies on top for garnish if desired.
  10. Chill: Place the assembled tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 1.5 hours to set and develop flavors.
  11. Serve: Remove from the fridge and serve chilled by the spoonful, enjoying the delightful layers of gingerbread and creamy eggnog flavors.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly brewed hot coffee for dipping the cookies to ensure they soften perfectly without becoming soggy.
  • Make sure the whipped cream reaches stiff peaks to maintain the structure of the tiramisu filling.
  • You can substitute rum extract with a tablespoon of real rum if preferred, adjusting for alcohol content.
  • This dessert can be made a day in advance; flavors improve after resting overnight in the fridge.
  • To keep the tiramisu safe, consume within 2 days when refrigerated, especially since it contains raw egg yolks.
