Description
These Eggnog Tiramisu Cups are a no-bake holiday dessert that layers mascarpone cream, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and festive eggnog flavor into individual servings. With creamy textures and warming spices, this recipe is perfect for make-ahead entertaining.
Ingredients
18 ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup eggnog
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
1. Brew and cool the espresso. Pour it into a shallow dish for dipping.
2. In a large bowl, beat mascarpone cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggnog and mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
4. Dip ladyfingers briefly into the cooled espresso. Layer them at the bottom of each glass or jar.
5. Spoon a layer of the eggnog mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
6. Repeat with another layer of espresso-dipped ladyfingers and another layer of cream.
7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Before serving, dust each cup with cocoa powder and a pinch of nutmeg.
Notes
Dip ladyfingers quickly—no more than 1–2 seconds—to avoid sogginess.
Use full-fat eggnog for the best flavor and consistency.
For a boozy twist, add 1 tablespoon of dark rum or bourbon to the mascarpone mixture.
