Ingredients

Scale

For the Tiramisu Cream

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

For the Cookie Layer

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

For Topping

  • 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 whipped texture.
  2. Prepare the mascarpone mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and powdered sugar. Mix until pale yellow and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese to this mixture and whip until smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Fold the mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture until fully combined and no streaks remain, creating a light tiramisu filling.
  4. Mix dipping liquid: In a small bowl, combine hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog, mixing thoroughly to create a flavorful soaking liquid for the cookies.
  5. Set up layering station: Prepare a 9×9 inch baking dish along with the tiramisu filling, gingerbread cookies, and the coffee mixture for dipping.
  6. Dip and layer cookies: Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie fully into the coffee mixture, then place a layer of approximately 9 cookies at the bottom of the baking dish, filling any gaps with smaller cookies to cover the surface completely.
  7. Add filling layer: Spread an even layer of the tiramisu filling over the cookies to cover them entirely.
  8. Repeat layering: Continue alternating layers of dipped gingerbread cookies and tiramisu filling, building about 4 to 5 layers total, ensuring the final layer is the tiramisu cream.
  9. Top and garnish: Sift cocoa powder evenly over the top tiramisu layer, and sprinkle with crushed gingerbread cookies for added texture and decoration.
  10. Chill: Place the tiramisu in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes to set and allow flavors to meld.
  11. Serve: Remove from the fridge and serve chilled by spoonfuls to enjoy the creamy, spicy layers.

Notes

  • Ensure cookies are dipped quickly to avoid becoming too soggy and breaking apart.
  • Use fresh, room temperature mascarpone for best blending results.
  • For a boozier version, you may add a tablespoon of dark rum in the coffee mixture.
  • This dessert is best consumed within 2 days of preparation for optimal freshness.
  • Use freshly brewed hot coffee for better soaking and flavor infusion.
