Equipment
- Hand mixer
- Double boiler
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring spoons
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Thermometer
- Small jars or cups
Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 8 ounces mascarpone room temperature
- 1 tablespoon unsulphured molasses
- 1¼ cup (295.74 ml) heavy whipping cream cold
- ¼ cup (21.5 g) cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional
- ⅛ teaspoon ginger optional
- 1½ cups (354.88 ml) espresso or strong coffee room temperature
- 48* gingerbread or gingersnap cookies
Instructions
- Heat the egg yolks and sugar in a double boiler while stirring constantly with a whisk until it reaches 160°F. Remove from heat and let cool.If you don't have a double boiler, place the ingredients into a heatproof bowl on top of a shallow pot of simmering water.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the molasses and the mascarpone.
- Whisk the heavy whipping cream until it reaches soft peaks (holds its shape but is very slightly droopy when the whisk is lifted). I recommend using a hand mixer for this.
- Once the yolk mixture is completely cool, slowly whisk in the mascarpone mixture. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Combine the cocoa powder with cinnamon and ginger (optional). Sprinkle a fine layer of cocoa powder in the bottom of the jars.
- Dip a cookie in espresso and place it in the bottom of the jar.Add 1-2 spoonfuls of the mascarpone filling on top of the cookie.Repeat layers of dipped cookies and filling until the jar is full, ending with the filling.
- Cover and place the jars in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top right before serving.
Notes
*The quantity of cookies may vary based on cookie and jar size. I recommend using gingersnaps as they tend to be more dry and crunchy.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, enjoy within a day of preparing.
