Gingerbread Tiramisu brings warm holiday spice to a creamy, no-bake classic. Layers of spiced gingerbread cookies, espresso, and fluffy mascarpone cream make this dessert rich, cozy, and perfect for Christmas parties or winter gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 1/2 cups brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled

  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)

  • 20–24 gingerbread cookies (soft or crisp, depending on preference)

  • Ground cinnamon or cocoa powder (for dusting)

  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk mascarpone, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until smooth.

  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.

  4. In a shallow dish, mix espresso and coffee liqueur (if using).

  5. Quickly dip gingerbread cookies into the coffee mixture, one at a time, and layer them in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.

  6. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the cookie layer.

  7. Repeat with another layer of dipped cookies and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

  9. Before serving, dust the top with cinnamon or cocoa powder and add whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use soft gingerbread cookies for a cake-like texture, or crisp ones for a bit more bite.

  • You can swap out the coffee liqueur for dark rum or leave it out completely.

  • This dessert can be made a day in advance—it gets better as it chills.
