Don't overdo the cream
For eggnog tiramisu: Stir the cream only until smooth. Stirring too long can make mascarpone or cream granular.
This eggnog tiramisu is based on a smooth cream and well-soaked spoon sponge. The sponge sponge is to be aromatic but not mushy; therefore it is only dipped briefly in espresso and then layered with the eggnog cream.
Why this recipe works
Stir the cream until smooth, and soak the sponge biscuits really briefly. Then, the dessert needs rest in the fridge to allow the sponge and cream to contract.
Recipe
eggnog Tiramisu is a creamy Easter dessert without baking. Mascarpone, curd cheese, eggnog, espresso and spoon sponges are layered and refrigerated for several hours.
Whisk together the mascarpone, curd cheese, icing sugar, vanilla paste and eggnog until smooth.
Let the espresso cool completely. Dip the sponge individually briefly to make it aromatic but retain its shape.
Place one layer of soaked sponge cake in a mould or glass. Spread the cream on top and repeat.
Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the layers to run through.
Sprinkle with cocoa just before serving and sprinkle with a little eggnog if desired.
