Ingredients
Scale
Mascarpone Pumpkin Cream
- 15.87 oz Mascarpone Cheese (high-quality brand recommended)
- 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree (pure, not pie filling)
- 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar (reduce if using sweetened whipped cream)
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar (can substitute with coconut sugar)
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger)
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt (fine sea salt can be used)
- 2 cups Heavy Cream (or whipped coconut cream for dairy-free option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Assembly
- 28 pieces Ladyfingers (homemade or sponge cake substitute possible)
- 2 cups Espresso or Strong Coffee (cooled to room temperature, cold brew works well)
- Cocoa Powder (for dusting before serving)
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Prepare espresso or strong coffee, then allow it to cool to room temperature to ensure it doesn’t make the ladyfingers soggy.
- Make Mascarpone Pumpkin Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, kosher salt, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add pumpkin puree and mix well. Gradually pour in the cold heavy cream and whip for 3-4 minutes until thick and mousse-like.
- First Ladyfinger Layer: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for 1-2 seconds to soak lightly. Arrange them in a single, even layer at the bottom of a 13×9 inch dish.
- First Cream Layer: Evenly spread half of the mascarpone pumpkin cream mixture over the soaked ladyfingers, covering them carefully.
- Second Ladyfinger Layer: Again, dip ladyfingers quickly in coffee and layer on top of the cream layer.
- Top Cream Layer: Spread or pipe the remaining mascarpone pumpkin cream over the second ladyfinger layer, smoothing or texturing as preferred.
- Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set, preferably overnight for best results.
- Finish & Serve: Just before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder for a rich, contrasting finish that complements the pumpkin sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure coffee is fully cooled before dipping ladyfingers to prevent sogginess.
- Ladyfingers soak quickly; a brief 1-2 second dip is sufficient.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute mascarpone with a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and heavy cream with whipped coconut cream.
- You can make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Letting the tiramisu chill overnight enhances the flavors and texture.
- Adjust sugar content based on sweetness of pumpkin puree or whipped cream used.
