Description

This Easy Gingerbread Tiramisu is a festive twist on the classic Italian dessert, blending rich mascarpone cream with the warm spices of gingerbread cookies and a touch of eggnog. Layers of coffee-soaked gingerbread cookies and whipped mascarpone mixture make an indulgent, creamy dessert perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tiramisu Mixture

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 1⁄4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 1⁄4 cups mascarpone cheese
  • 1⁄2 cup eggnog
  • 1 tsp rum extract

For the Cookie Layer

  • 40 gingerbread cookies
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee

Crumble Topping

  • Cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Crushed gingerbread cookies, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This creates the light, airy base for the tiramisu filling. Set aside.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture turns a pale yellow and is well combined, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture.
  3. Add Mascarpone: Incorporate the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture, whipping until smooth and free of lumps for a rich and creamy filling.
  4. Fold Cream and Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture until fully combined and smooth, making sure there are no streaks visible.
  5. Prepare Coffee Mixture: In a small bowl, combine hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog thoroughly. This mixture will be used for dipping the gingerbread cookies to infuse them with flavor and moisture.
  6. Layer the Tiramisu: Dip each gingerbread cookie quickly but fully into the coffee mixture, then arrange an even layer at the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish. Fill the bottom with approximately nine cookies, adjusting for size as necessary.
  7. Add Filling Layer: Spread a layer of the tiramisu filling evenly over the dipped gingerbread cookies.
  8. Repeat Layers: Continue layering dipped cookies and filling, alternating until you reach the top of the dish with about 4-5 layers total. The final layer should be the tiramisu filling.
  9. Add Topping: Using a sifter, dust a generous layer of cocoa powder over the top of the final filling layer. Sprinkle crushed gingerbread cookies over the cocoa for added texture and flavor.
  10. Chill: Place the tiramisu in the refrigerator and chill for 90 minutes to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld perfectly.
  11. Serve: Remove from the fridge when ready to serve. Spoon out portions to enjoy the delicious layers of gingerbread and creamy eggnog-infused tiramisu.

Notes

  • Dip gingerbread cookies quickly in coffee mixture to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
  • Ensure the whipped cream is at stiff peaks before folding to maintain a light texture.
  • Use fresh eggs for safety and best taste when preparing the egg yolk mixture.
  • The tiramisu can be made a day ahead to enhance flavor blending.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum extract or substitute with vanilla extract.
