Description
A festive dessert delight combining the flavors of gingerbread and tiramisu, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup dark rum or coffee liqueur
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 24 gingerbread cookies
- Cocoa powder for dusting
- Fresh ginger or cinnamon sticks for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and dark rum (or coffee liqueur). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Quickly dip each gingerbread cookie into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Lay a layer of soaked cookies in the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the layer of cookies. Repeat with another layer of soaked cookies and the remaining cream cheese mixture on top.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh ginger or cinnamon sticks if desired.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum or liqueur with additional brewed coffee or milk.
- Add a layer of chocolate shavings or crushed gingerbread cookies between the layers for added texture and flavor.
