Description

This Easy Gingerbread Tiramisu is a delightful holiday twist on the classic Italian dessert. Layers of coffee-soaked gingerbread cookies alternate with a luscious mascarpone and whipped cream filling infused with eggnog and rum extract for a rich, festive flavor. Perfect for winter celebrations, this no-bake dessert combines spice, creaminess, and a hint of coffee bitterness for a truly irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 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

Layers

  • 40 gingerbread cookies
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee

Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside carefully to keep the texture light and airy.
  2. Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and powdered sugar. Mix together until pale yellow and smooth. Add the mascarpone cheese to this mixture and whip until fully incorporated and lump-free.
  3. Combine Whipped Cream with Mascarpone: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk mixture until the mixture is uniform in color and texture, without streaks.
  4. Mix the Dipping Liquid: In a small bowl, combine the hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog, stirring well to blend all the flavors.
  5. Set Up the Baking Dish: Prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish, and have your gingerbread cookies, tiramisu filling, and dipping liquid ready for assembly.
  6. Dip and Layer Cookies: Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie into the coffee mixture, ensuring it's fully soaked but not soggy. Arrange about 9 dipped cookies to cover the bottom of the dish fully.
  7. Add the First Layer of Filling: Evenly spread a layer of the mascarpone whipped mixture over the bottom cookie layer.
  8. Repeat Layers: Continue layering dipped cookies followed by the mascarpone filling, alternating until you reach about 4-5 layers. The final top layer should be the mascarpone filling.
  9. Top and Garnish: Sift cocoa powder generously over the top layer. Sprinkle crushed gingerbread cookies for added texture and decoration.
  10. Chill: Place the assembled tiramisu into the refrigerator and chill for at least 1.5 hours to set and allow flavors to meld.
  11. Serve: Remove from the fridge and serve by the spoonful to enjoy the creamy, spiced layers infused with coffee and eggnog flavors.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly brewed hot coffee to dip the gingerbread cookies.
  • Be careful not to soak the cookies too long to avoid sogginess in the dessert.
  • This tiramisu can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated, allowing the flavors to deepen.
  • If alcohol is not preferred, omit rum extract or replace it with vanilla extract.
  • Use a sifter for a fine dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
