Eggnog Tiramisu Cups

Eggnog Tiramisu Cups are creamy, festive desserts that combine the luxurious flavors of traditional tiramisu with the warm, spiced charm of eggnog. Perfectly portioned for holiday parties, these easy no-bake treats feature mascarpone cream, rum-spiked eggnog-soaked ladyfingers, and a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg for a delightful seasonal touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy, spiced eggnog (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
  • 24 ladyfingers
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp rum or bourbon (optional)
  • Ground cinnamon, for dusting
  • Ground nutmeg, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture to create a light, fluffy cream layer.
  2. Soak the Ladyfingers: Pour eggnog into a shallow dish and stir in rum or bourbon if using. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the eggnog mixture, ensuring they soak up flavor but don’t become soggy. Place them at the bottom of your serving cups as the first layer.
  3. Assemble the Cups: Layer the soaked ladyfingers with a generous spoonful of the mascarpone cream, repeating the process to fill the cups. Finish with a smooth layer of cream on top for a polished look.
  4. Chill and Garnish: Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the cream to set. Before serving, dust the tops with cinnamon and nutmeg for that final festive touch.

Notes

  • Use cold mascarpone and heavy cream for better whipping texture.
  • Do not oversoak ladyfingers; a quick dip is sufficient to absorb flavor without turning mushy.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for enhanced aroma and flavor.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for best flavor and texture.
  • Serve in individual cups for elegant presentation and portion control.
