Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Warm Coffee
- 6 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 cup Mascarpone Cheese
- ½ cup Molasses
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 pinch Ground Nutmeg
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 24 pieces Ladyfingers
- 1 cup Crushed Gingersnaps
- As needed pieces Gingerbread Man Cookies
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of warm coffee with 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture combines. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature (about 15 minutes).
- In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of softened mascarpone cheese, ½ cup of molasses, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, and a pinch of ground nutmeg. Blend on low speed until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Whip the cream until medium peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.
- Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee syrup and line the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan.
- Spoon one-third of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle a layer of crushed gingersnaps over the mascarpone mixture.
- Repeat the process with more ladyfingers, followed by another one-third of the mascarpone mixture.
- Using the remaining mascarpone mixture, pipe decorative swirls or dollops on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
- Before serving, dust with ground cinnamon and garnish with gingerbread cookies.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor.
- Adjust spices to your taste.
- Can substitute ladyfingers with other sponge cake if needed.
