Description

This Easy Gingerbread Tiramisu is a festive, no-bake dessert that layers spiced gingerbread cookies with a creamy mascarpone and eggnog mixture, infused with coffee and rum extract. Perfect for holiday gatherings, it’s simple to prepare ahead and chilled to develop rich flavors, offering a delightful twist on the classic Italian tiramisu.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 1⁄4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 1⁄4 cups mascarpone cheese
  • 1⁄2 cup eggnog
  • 40 gingerbread cookies
  • 1⁄2 cup coffee (hot)
  • 1 tsp rum extract

Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set this aside carefully to maintain volume.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture turns pale yellow. Then add mascarpone cheese and whip until smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Combine Cream and Egg Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture, mixing until smooth and well incorporated without any streaks.
  4. Mix Coffee Dip: In a small bowl, blend hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog thoroughly; this will be used to dip the gingerbread cookies.
  5. Layer Cookies: Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie into the coffee mixture ensuring full coverage but avoiding sogginess. Arrange about 9 dipped cookies covering the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  6. Add Tiramisu Filling: Spread an even layer of the whipped tiramisu mixture over the first layer of cookies.
  7. Repeat Layers: Continue layering dipped cookies and tiramisu filling, approximately 4-5 layers total, with the final layer being the creamy filling on top.
  8. Add Toppings and Chill: Use a sifter to evenly dust cocoa powder over the top layer. Sprinkle crushed gingerbread cookies if desired. Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for 90 minutes to set.
  9. Serve: Once chilled, serve the tiramisu by the spoonful, enjoying the festive flavors of gingerbread, eggnog, and coffee.

Notes

  • Ensure cookies are dipped quickly to prevent them from becoming too soggy and falling apart.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day ahead to enhance flavors.
  • Use fresh eggnog and high-quality mascarpone for the best taste.
  • Egg yolks in this recipe are raw; consume with caution or consider pasteurized eggs.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit rum extract or substitute with vanilla extract.
