Gingerbread tiramisu in a glass Christmas dessert
One of my absolute favorite winter desserts is gingerbread tiramisu in a glass. It combines the hearty taste of Christmas gingerbread with the creamy sweetness of Italian tiramisu. I have made this recipe countless times and it has always been a huge hit, especially as a dessert for a festive Christmas dinner.

- 300 g Gingerbread
- 500 g mascarpone
- 250 ml Espresso, cooled

Directions
For the gingerbread tiramisu in a glass recipe, first separate the eggs. This is an important step, so be careful not to get any yolks in the egg whites, otherwise they won't stiffen.
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until frothy. Then add the mascarpone and mix everything together well. If you like, you can also add the coffee liqueur at this point. The mixture should be nice and creamy.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the mascarpone cream. You now have the perfect base for your tiramisu.
Crumble the gingerbread and spread a layer on the bottom of 6 glasses. Place a handful of gingerbread crumbs in each glass, then drizzle some cooled espresso over the top. Make sure you don't use too much espresso, otherwise the gingerbread will be too mushy.
Next comes a layer of the mascarpone cream. Repeat these steps until all the glasses are filled and finish with a layer of mascarpone cream.
Place the jars in the fridge for at least 2 hours so that the flavors can infuse well.
Before serving, dust the tiramisu glasses with cocoa powder and gingerbread crumbs. This final step gives your gingerbread tiramisu in a glass the perfect look and an extra chocolate flavor.
