Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus more for serving)
- 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup dark rum or brandy (optional)
- 24 to 30 ladyfingers
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Brew some strong coffee or espresso. Let it cool completely, then set it aside in a shallow dish.
- Make the Eggnog Custard: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Place the bowl over simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened slightly.
- Add Eggnog: Whisk in eggnog and a pinch of salt, cooking for a couple more minutes until lightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Prepare the Mascarpone: In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone cheese until smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream with vanilla extract and ground nutmeg until soft peaks form.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the cooled eggnog custard into the mascarpone and then fold in the whipped cream until thick and fluffy.
- Prepare Coffee Mixture: Stir together the cooled coffee and dark rum or brandy in the shallow dish.
- Dip the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for 1 to 2 seconds per side.
- Layer the Dessert: Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of an 8×8 inch dish, spread half of the eggnog mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Add More Layers: Place another layer of dipped ladyfingers and spread the remaining eggnog mascarpone cream on top.
- Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Dust with cocoa powder and nutmeg before serving. Slice and enjoy!
