Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Assembly
- 1 1/2 cups prepared cold espresso
- 1 package lady fingers (Savoiardi brand)
- 1 splash coffee-flavored liqueur (optional)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Pumpkin Mascarpone: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until barely stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine canned pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully combined, creating a light and creamy filling.
- Dip Lady Fingers: Pour prepared cold espresso into a shallow bowl and add coffee-flavored liqueur if using. Quickly dip lady fingers in the coffee mixture, soaking each side briefly so they are moist but not soggy.
- Assemble Dessert: Lay a single layer of the dipped lady fingers on the bottom of an 8×8-inch dish. Spread half of the pumpkin mascarpone mixture evenly over the lady fingers. Add another layer of dipped lady fingers followed by the remaining pumpkin mascarpone mixture, smoothing the top.
- Dust with Cocoa Powder: Use a fine mesh strainer to dust the top of the tiramisu evenly with unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate finish.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the tiramisu for 3 to 4 hours, or up to overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set before serving.
Notes
- Do not soak the lady fingers too long in the coffee to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- For a boozier flavor, adjust the amount of coffee-flavored liqueur or omit it entirely for a non-alcoholic version.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to evenly dust the cocoa powder for a professional finish.
- This dessert is best enjoyed chilled and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
