Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
- 2 ¼ cups mascarpone cheese
- ½ cup eggnog
- 36–45 gingerbread cookies
- ½ cup coffee
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- Cocoa Powder
- Crushed Gingerbread Cookies
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and powdered sugar together until pale yellow and well combined.
- Add the mascarpone to the egg mixture and whip until smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully blended with no streaks remaining.
- In a small bowl, stir together the hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog to make the dipping mixture.
- Set up your 9×9 baking dish along with the filling, cookies, and dipping mixture.
- Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie into the coffee mixture, then place them in the bottom of the baking dish to form an even layer. Use about 9 cookies, or enough to cover the base.
- Spread a layer of the tiramisu filling evenly over the cookies.
- Continue layering dipped cookies and filling until the dish is full, ending with a layer of filling on top. You should have 4–5 layers in total.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder using a sifter, and sprinkle with extra crushed gingerbread cookies if you like.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 ½ hours to set.
- Serve chilled by the spoonful, enjoying the creamy layers of eggnog and spiced gingerbread.
