Indulge in a symphony of flavors with our eggnog tiramisu trifle, a delightful holiday dessert that blends the comforting taste of eggnog with the classic Italian dessert tiramisu. This multi-layered trifle features layers of creamy eggnog mousse, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and a delicate dusting of cocoa powder.

Additionally, explore our selection of garnishes, such as grated nutmeg, chopped nuts, or fresh berries, to add a personal touch to your trifle.

TIRAMISU EGGNOG TRIFLE
This classic dessert gets a Christmas & New Year's twist with eggnog flavors and an opulent-sounding presentation. Start making this, one day before serving. It sounded so good that I posted this before trying. Courtesy of epicurious.com, which was found in Bon Apetit, December 2003. Did not include chilling times. If you don't make the chocolate leaves it will not hurt the integrity of the trifle.

Steps:
- 1. Using a blender or food processor, grind up chocolate chips into almost a powder. In a mixer, blend together the cream cheese, cool whip, pudding and eggnog.
- 2. Layer the bottom of a trifle dish or large glass bowl with vanilla wafers. Sprinkle with some of the coffee (just enough so each cookie is moistened but not drowning). Top with a layer (roughly 1-2 inches thick) of the pudding mixture.
- 3. Sprinkle some chocolate chip powder over pudding. Sprinkle broken up pieces of toffee candy on top of chocolate chip powder.
- 4. Repeat layers until your bowl is full, or you run out of ingredients. Make sure the top layer is the pudding mixture, sprinkled with a bunch of chocolate chip powder and toffee candy, for presentation. There is not an exact science to this. The pudding layer can really be as thick or as thin as you want. It all ends up creaming together in the end. Cover the trifle bowl with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge overnight. The cookies will need to soften into a cake-like texture. Let it sit in the fridge overnight. The next day, its ready - dig in!
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are cold before starting. This will help the custard thicken properly and prevent the mascarpone from curdling.
- Use a high-quality coffee for the best flavor. A dark roast or espresso will work well.
- Don't overbeat the custard. Overbeating can make the custard grainy.
- Don't add the mascarpone to the custard until it has cooled slightly. Adding the mascarpone to hot custard can cause it to curdle.
- Assemble the trifle at least 4 hours before serving. This will give the flavors time to meld and the trifle to set.
- Garnish the trifle with grated chocolate, crushed candy canes, or whipped cream before serving.
Conclusion:
This eggnog tiramisu trifle is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any holiday gathering. It is easy to make and can be assembled ahead of time. With its layers of creamy custard, mascarpone, and ladyfingers soaked in coffee and eggnog, this trifle is sure to be a hit.
