Eggnog Tiramisu Trifle

• 12 large egg yolks
• 1-2/3 cups sugar, divided
• 2-3/4 cups water, divided
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1/4 cup brandy
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 cartons (8 ounces each) mascarpone cheese
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup coffee liqueur
• 1/3 cup instant espresso powder
• 70 crisp ladyfinger cookies

1. In a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water, constantly whisk the egg yolks, 1-1/3 cups sugar, 1/4 cup water, rum, brandy and nutmeg until mixture reaches 160u0b0 or is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; gradually whisk in the cheese.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into mascarpone mixture.
3. Place chocolate chips in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped.
4. In a small saucepan, bring remaining water to a boil. Stir in the coffee liqueur, espresso powder and remaining sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Dip 14 ladyfingers into mixture; arrange in a single layer in a 5-qt. glass bowl. Spread 2 cups mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons chocolate. Repeat layers four times. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
