A festive twist on classic tiramisu featuring a luscious eggnog cream layer with warm spices, perfect for holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) eggnog, preferably store-bought or homemade
  • 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
  • 2 tbsp dark rum or bourbon (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi), firm but not stale
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Dark chocolate shavings or curls (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Eggnog Cream: Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon until smooth. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture gently, then fold in eggnog until combined.
  2. Prepare the Coffee Soak: Combine cooled espresso or coffee with sugar and optional rum/bourbon in a shallow dish. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. Layer the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee soak for 1-2 seconds and arrange a single layer in the baking dish.
  4. Add the Cream Layer: Spread half of the eggnog cream evenly over the ladyfingers.
  5. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with remaining eggnog cream and smooth the surface.
  6. Chill and Set: Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Finish with Garnish: Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings or curls before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the cream to keep it light and airy. Quickly dip ladyfingers to avoid sogginess. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free mascarpone and eggnog. Alcohol can be omitted without losing flavor. Chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
