Description
Pumpkin tiramisu is a no-bake, fall-inspired twist on the classic Italian dessert. It combines creamy mascarpone, pumpkin puree, warm spices, and coffee-soaked ladyfingers for an indulgent yet easy holiday treat.
Ingredients
Mascarpone cheese – 1 cup
Pumpkin puree – 3/4 cup (not pumpkin pie mix)
Heavy cream – 1 cup, chilled
Granulated sugar – 1/2 cup
Ladyfinger biscuits – 1 package
Strong coffee or espresso – 3/4 cup (cooled)
Coffee Syrup (optional) – 2 tbsp
Pumpkin pie spice – 1 tsp
Cocoa powder or grated chocolate – For topping
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, beat cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, mix mascarpone, pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
3. Gently fold in the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate it.
4. In a shallow dish, combine cooled coffee with liqueur if using.
5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger (do not soak!) and lay them in a single layer in a dish.
6. Spread half the pumpkin cream mixture evenly over the soaked ladyfingers.
7. Repeat with a second biscuit layer and remaining cream.
8. Cover and chill for 6 hours or overnight.
9. Before serving, dust with cocoa or top with grated dark chocolate.
Notes
Feel free to substitute mascarpone with cream cheese for a tangier flavor.
This dessert is best when chilled overnight and can be made up to 4 days in advance.
Try adding crushed ginger snaps or caramel swirls for variation.
Serve in glasses or jars for individual portions.
