Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 ¼ cups mascarpone
  • ½ cup eggnog
  • 14-18 gingerbread men cookies (about 4-inch in size)
  • ½ cup strong black coffee (espresso preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon light or dark rum
  • Optional whipped cream, unsweetened cocoa, chocolate sprinkles, or gingerbread men cookie crumbs for decoration

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form and set aside. You can use either an electric mixer or a whisk.
  • In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the mascarpone and mix just until well combined. Add ¼ cup eggnog and mix on low speed until combined and creamy. Then fold in ¼ of the whipped cream. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together coffee, remaining eggnog, and rum.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of the mascarpone cream in the bottom of a 9" x 7" casserole dish to lightly cover the bottom.
  • Dip the gingerbread men cookies into the coffee mixture on both sides and arrange about 7-9 cookies (depending on the size of your cookies) on top of the cream. Spread half of the cream on top. Repeat this step one more time.
  • Pipe the remaining whipped cream on top, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. Sprinkle with cocoa just before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
