Ingredients
  

Coffee Syrup:

  • cup strongly-brewed coffee*
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup Eggnog

Mascarpone Filling:

  • 1 ½ cup heavy cream
  • 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup Eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 (7 oz) package Savoiardi ladyfingers (about 24)
  • Cocoa Powder for dusting

Instructions
 

Make the Coffee Syrup:

  • Combine the coffee and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and stir in the eggnog. Set aside to cool completely.

Make the Filling:

  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a separate bowl, return bowl to the mixer, and replace whisk attachment with paddle attachment.
  • To the mixer, add the mascarpone cheese, sugar, eggnog, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt. Beat on high until combined. Add about a cup of the whipped cream and continue beating until incorporated. Gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream.

Assemble Tiramisu:

  • One at a time, quickly dip the ladyfingers in the coffee syrup until soaked but not soggy; arrange in an even layer along the bottom of an 8-inch square dish. (Line the ladyfingers up in two straight rows of six.**) Spread half of the the mascarpone filling on top of the ladyfingers. Place another layer of coffee syrup-soaked ladyfingers on top of the filling.
  • Spread half of the remaining filling on top of the ladyfingers. Transfer remaining filling to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or a gallon ziplock bag with the corner cut off), and pipe the filling evenly over the tiramisu.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving. Just before serving, place cocoa powder in a fine mesh sieve and shake a light dusting over the surface. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

*I combined 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder with 2/3 cup hot water.
**You might have to cut your ladyfingers depending on their size. Cutting is easier to do after they've been dipped in the coffee syrup.
