This Eggnog Tiramisu is a decadent holiday twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining creamy mascarpone, rich eggnog, and spiced coffee-soaked ladyfingers. No baking is required, making it an easy yet elegant treat that tastes even better the next day. Perfect for festive gatherings, it layers the smooth flavors of eggnog with the traditional coffee and rum-soaked cookies, dusted with cocoa powder for a festive finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • 1 cup eggnog (cold, full-fat)

Cookies and Soaking Liquid

  • 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional)

Topping

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Brew Coffee and Add Rum: In a bowl, combine 1 cup cooled brewed coffee with 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional) and set aside for soaking the ladyfingers later.
  2. Beat Mascarpone with Sugar and Spices: In a large bowl, mix 1 cup mascarpone cheese, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg until smooth and creamy.
  3. Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, creating an airy texture.
  4. Add Eggnog and Fold In Cream: Add 1 cup cold eggnog to the mascarpone mixture, mixing until smooth. Then gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
  5. Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each of the 24 ladyfinger cookies into the coffee-rum mixture, about one second per side, avoiding oversoaking to prevent sogginess.
  6. Layer in Dish: Arrange half the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer in a square dish. Spread half the eggnog mascarpone filling over the cookies. Repeat with the remaining soaked ladyfingers and filling to create two layers.
  7. Chill and Dust with Cocoa: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set. Before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Notes

  • Avoid over-soaking ladyfingers to prevent sogginess.
  • Use cooled coffee to maintain cookie texture.
  • Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
  • Do not over-whip the cream to prevent a grainy texture.
  • Can omit rum or substitute with vanilla extract if preferred.
  • Leftovers keep up to 4 days refrigerated; freezing possible but may alter texture.
