Tiramisu with Eggnog (and Peaches)

Tiramisu with eggnog

Ready in just ten minutes and easy to prepare: this simple and quick tiramisu with Dutch eggnog and peaches is an ideal dessert. And that's why it's such a great recipe for the holidays.

For adults, because eggnog contains alcohol. And whenever there are children and/or pregnant women who attend dessert? Just omit the eggnog and sprinkle a little bit of extra peach syrup on the cake for taste. It will be great!

Peaches at the holidays

When preparing this tiramisu with Dutch eggnog I use canned peaches. Now you may wonder why, but the simple reason is that it is not a peach season. You can't purchase them at the moment around here. But that doesn't matter, because they are also delicious when canned. And we use the syrup to flavor the cookies.

For the cookies, I choose macaroons. They absorb the syrup well and because they are made with almonds, they combine wonderfully with the peaches.

What do you need for Peach Tiramisu

For the preparation of these beef croquettes you need the following ingredients (you can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog):

• Macaroons - I used to take Frangipane cakes, but they're very difficult to obtain. And therefore I changed my recipe and choose macaroons nowadays. Because almonds and peaches are a delicious combination!

• Cream, ricotta, and honey - The combination of these three ingredients makes the creamy layer in this tiramisu. I did not opt for mascarpone cream because it makes the dessert very rich and full (also in calories). Ricotta is a bit lighter and tastes just as creamy. Do you prefer the traditional way? Use 1 cup of mascarpone instead of the ricotta

• Peaches - I use canned peaches with syrup. The peaches are sliced into small cubes, which give a sweet and fresh flavor to this dessert. The syrup is used to flavor and softens the macaroons.

• Eggnog - This liqueur belongs to the holiday! And a great food combo. The creamy eggnog is a great combination with the macaroons. And that's the same for the sweet peaches. I use Dutch eggnog, also known as advocaat, but every eggnog will do. Eggnog contains alcohol, so don't serve the dessert with this drink to children and pregnant women. Just omit the eggnog and add an extra spoon of syrup to the dessert.

How to make Tiramisu with Eggnog and Peaches

A recipe with extensive steps, the right amount of ingredients, and which you can also easily print can be found at the bottom of the blog.

Step 1 - Slice the peaches.

Take the peaches out of the syrup and slice them into small cubes of about ¼ x ¼ inches (½ x ½ cm). Put the syrup in a separate bowl, you'll need it later on.

Step 2 - Prepare the ricotta honey cream

1. Put the cream in a bowl. Make sure it's very cold because you can stiffen it more easily.
2. Add the honey to the bowl.
3. Also, spoon the ricotta into the bowl.
4. Mix with a whisk or mixer until the cream mixture has got the thickness of Greek yogurt (about two minutes mixing).

Step 3 - Add the first layers to the glasses

1. Crumble the macaroon into the glasses.
2. Pour one tablespoon of syrup onto the cookies.
3. Add the peach cubes and one tablespoon of eggnog.
4. Spoon three tablespoons of ricotta cream on top.

Step 4 - Prepare the second layer

1. Crumble another macaroon on top of the ricotta cream. Sprinkle one tablespoon peach syrup on the cookies.
2. Divide the peach cubes on top.
3. Spoon a tablespoon of eggnog on the peach cubes.
4. Cover with ricotta cream. Add some cocoa and, when preparing for Easter, add a chocolate Easter egg. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
