Ingredients

Scale

For the Cream Mixture

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

For Dipping the Cookies

  • 1/2 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 cup coffee, hot
  • 1 tsp rum extract

Other Ingredients

  • 40 gingerbread cookies
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Crushed gingerbread cookies, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whip Heavy Cream: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the 2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set this whipped cream aside for later use.
  2. Prepare Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the 3 egg yolks and 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture is pale yellow and well combined. Add 2 1/4 cups of mascarpone cheese and whip together until smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Combine Whipped Cream with Mascarpone: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture until fully incorporated and no streaks remain.
  4. Mix Dipping Liquid: In a small bowl, combine hot 1/2 cup coffee, 1/2 cup eggnog, and 1 teaspoon rum extract. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Arrange a 9×9 inch baking dish and gather the whipped tiramisu mixture, gingerbread cookies, and dipping liquid nearby for assembly.
  6. Dip Cookies: Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie fully into the coffee mixture, then place them in a single layer at the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange about 9 cookies per layer, filling the base completely.
  7. Add Filling Layer: Spread an even layer of the whipped tiramisu filling over the dipped gingerbread cookies.
  8. Repeat Layers: Continue layering dipped cookies followed by the mascarpone filling until you reach the top of the baking dish. This usually results in 4 to 5 layers of cookies and filling, with the last layer being mascarpone filling.
  9. Top with Cocoa and Garnish: Sift cocoa powder evenly over the final layer of filling and optionally sprinkle with crushed gingerbread cookies for extra texture and decoration.
  10. Chill: Refrigerate the tiramisu for 1.5 hours to allow flavors to meld and dessert to set.
  11. Serve: Remove from refrigerator and serve by the spoonful, enjoying the creamy layers of gingerbread and eggnog infused goodness.

Notes

  • Use fresh gingerbread cookies for best texture; avoid soft or overly stale cookies.
  • Dipping the cookies quickly prevents them from becoming too soggy.
  • For a boozier version, consider adding a tablespoon of actual rum instead of rum extract.
  • This dessert is best served within 24 hours of preparation for optimal texture.
  • Ensure the egg yolks are fresh and pasteurized for safety.
