This Pumpkin Tiramisu is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining creamy mascarpone cheese with autumnal pumpkin puree and warm pumpkin pie spices. Layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers alternate with a rich, spiced pumpkin mascarpone cream, making it a perfect treat for the fall season or any time you crave a cozy, comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Mascarpone Pumpkin Cream

  • 15.87 oz Mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin puree
  • 2/3 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup Brown sugar
  • 2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 cups Heavy cream (cold)

Assembly

  • 28 Ladyfingers
  • 2 cups Coffee (espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled)
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee: Brew espresso or strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature. Set aside while preparing the mascarpone cream to ensure it doesn’t soak the ladyfingers too much.
  2. Mix Mascarpone Base: In a large bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Use an electric hand mixer to blend until smooth and well combined, ensuring the spices and sugars are evenly distributed.
  3. Add Pumpkin and Vanilla: Incorporate the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract into the mascarpone mixture, mixing again until fully integrated for a consistent pumpkin flavor throughout the cream.
  4. Whip the Cream: Pour in the cold heavy cream and continue mixing with the electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens and forms soft peaks, creating a light, airy texture.
  5. Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for 1-2 seconds—just enough to soak without becoming soggy. Arrange an even layer of soaked ladyfingers in a 13×9 inch baking dish.
  6. Layer the Cream: Spread half of the mascarpone pumpkin cream evenly over the first layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it gently with a spatula to cover all cookies.
  7. Add Second Ladyfinger Layer: Dip the remaining ladyfingers in coffee as before and place them on top of the mascarpone layer, forming the second base layer.
  8. Pipe Remaining Cream: Transfer the remaining mascarpone cream into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and create dollops across the top layer of ladyfingers for an elegant finish with texture variations.
  9. Chill the Dessert: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the ladyfingers to soften and flavors to meld beautifully.
  10. Serve: Just before serving, dust the tiramisu generously with cocoa powder to enhance the rich flavors and add a final touch of authentic tiramisu presentation.

Notes

  • Use cold heavy cream to achieve the best whipping results for a light and fluffy texture.
  • Soaking ladyfingers briefly prevents them from becoming overly soggy, maintaining pleasant bite and texture.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, consider using espresso or adding coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa) to the coffee soak.
  • This dessert is best served after chilling overnight for maximum flavor melding.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned 100% pumpkin puree for consistent flavor.
