Beat the cold heavy cream in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine the eggnog, mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg. Mix until smooth and fully blended. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until no streaks remain.
Stir together the brewed espresso and the dark rum or bourbon, if using. Place the ladyfingers nearby for easy access during assembly.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for 1 to 2 seconds, making sure they do not become soggy. Arrange 2 to 3 dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of each dessert cup. Break them if needed to fit the shape of the cup.
Spoon a generous layer of the eggnog cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by more cream. Each cup should contain two full layers.
Cover each dessert cup tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. For best texture and flavor, allow them to chill overnight.
Before serving, top each cup with whipped cream. Lightly dust with unsweetened cocoa powder and a small pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon.
