No-bake festive dessert combining spiced gingerbread cookies, creamy mascarpone, eggnog, and coffee for the ultimate Christmas treat. Easy to make ahead and perfect for holiday parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream, very cold
  • 3 egg yolks (pasteurized if preferred)
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup eggnog
  • 40 gingerbread cookies
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • Crushed gingerbread cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. In large bowl, whip very cold heavy cream with hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
  2. In separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and powdered sugar until combined and pale yellow, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add room temperature mascarpone to egg mixture. Mix on medium speed until smooth and clump-free.
  4. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture with rubber spatula until combined with no streaks remaining.
  5. In shallow bowl, combine hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog, mixing fully.
  6. Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie in coffee mixture for 1-2 seconds per side. Arrange in single layer in bottom of 9×9 inch baking dish.
  7. Spread generous layer of whipped tiramisu filling evenly over cookies.
  8. Continue layering dipped cookies and filling until reaching top of dish, about 4-5 layers. Final layer should be tiramisu filling.
  9. Sift cocoa powder generously over top. Crumble additional gingerbread cookies on top if desired.
  10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 90 minutes or overnight.
  11. Serve by spoonful, revealing beautiful layers of gingerbread and eggnog cream.

Notes

  • Use very cold heavy cream for best whipping volume.
  • Mascarpone should be room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Don’t oversoak cookies or they’ll fall apart.
  • Can make without egg yolks by mixing mascarpone with sugar then folding in cream.
  • Store covered in fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Can freeze individual slices for up to 1 month.
