Description

This Easy Gingerbread Tiramisu recipe combines the rich flavors of traditional tiramisu with festive gingerbread cookies and creamy eggnog. Layers of coffee-dipped gingerbread cookies alternate with a smooth mascarpone and whipped cream filling, topped with cocoa powder and crumbled gingerbread for a holiday-inspired dessert that’s quick to assemble and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tiramisu Filling

  • 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 hot coffee
  • 1 tsp rum extract

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside to keep chilled.
  2. Prepare Egg and Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture lightens to a pale yellow. Add the mascarpone cheese and whip together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture until fully combined with no visible streaks.
  4. Prepare Coffee Dip: In a small bowl, mix the hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog thoroughly to use for dipping the cookies.
  5. Dip Cookies: Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie into the coffee mixture to soak but not saturate. Place the cookies in a 9×9 inch baking dish to cover the bottom completely, about 9 cookies.
  6. Layer Filling: Spread an even layer of the whipped tiramisu filling over the cookie layer.
  7. Repeat Layers: Continue layering dipped gingerbread cookies and tiramisu filling, creating about 4 to 5 layers, with the final layer being the tiramisu filling.
  8. Add Toppings and Chill: Dust the top layer generously with cocoa powder and sprinkle crumbled gingerbread cookies if desired. Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 1.5 hours to chill and set.
  9. Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and serve by the spoonful, enjoying the creamy layers and festive flavors.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing, especially the mascarpone cheese.
  • Dip the gingerbread cookies quickly into the coffee mixture to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
  • The tiramisu can be made a day in advance to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften perfectly.
  • For a boozy version, you can add a tablespoon of your favorite liquor alongside the rum extract in the coffee mixture.
  • Ensure the tiramisu is kept refrigerated until served.
