Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and whip until stiff peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and powdered sugar until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Carefully fold in the room-temperature mascarpone cheese until completely smooth.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and egg yolk blend.
  5. In a shallow bowl, mix hot coffee, rum extract, and eggnog until combined. Allow to cool slightly.

  8. Dust top with cocoa powder and crushed gingerbread cookies, cover and refrigerate for at least 1.5 hours.
