NOTES
1. What are pepernoten? Pepernoten are small Dutch spiced cookies eaten around Sinterklaas. In many recipes, the word is also used for crunchy kruidnoten. Make your own pepernoten / kruidnoten with this recipe.
2. Is this pepernoten tiramisu without alcohol? Yes, this pepernoten tiramisu is made without alcohol. Cinnamon coffee syrup and tangerine juice give the cookie layer plenty of flavor.
3. Can I make this dessert ahead of time? Yes, you can make the glasses a few hours ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator. The pepernoten will soften as they sit.
4. How do I keep mascarpone cream smooth? Use room-temperature mascarpone and cold heavy cream. That helps the cream mix more evenly and keeps the filling soft and thick.
5. Storage
- Refrigerator: keep the glasses covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The pepernoten will soften, which fits the tiramisu texture.
- Make-ahead: you can prepare the tangerine segments and mascarpone cream ahead, then build the glasses a few hours before serving.
