Tiramisu is a great dessert to make around Christmas – it doesn't need any baking, so you're not competing for oven space, and it can go straight from fridge to table. This festive twist on the famous dessert is layered with gingerbread-spiced mascarpone and topped with crumbled gingerbread cookies. Even better, any leftovers are absolutely divine the next day.
Start by making the mascarpone cream. Beat the egg yolks with sugar until light, pale and fluffy. Beat in the mascarpone and spices, then set aside
Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks then gently fold them into the mascarpone mixture
Quickly dip each of the savoiardi biscuits into the coffee, then layer them with the mascarpone mixture in a dish
Chill in the fridge for 4 hours
When ready to serve, dust the tiramisu with cocoa and top it with the crumbled gingerbread and grated chocolate
