Ingredients

Units Scale

Mascarpone Cream

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

Other Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coffee: Brew espresso or strong coffee and allow it to cool completely for a few minutes. Set aside for dipping ladyfingers later.
  2. Mix Mascarpone Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Pumpkin Puree: Fold in the pumpkin puree to the mascarpone mixture and mix until evenly combined, ensuring a consistent pumpkin flavor throughout the cream.
  4. Whip Heavy Cream: Pour cold heavy cream into the mixture and whip using the electric mixer for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture thickens into a creamy, fluffy consistency suitable for layering.
  5. Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee (about 1-2 seconds) to soak slightly without becoming soggy, then arrange an even layer at the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish.
  6. Layer Cream: Spread half of the mascarpone pumpkin cream evenly over the coffee-soaked ladyfingers, smoothing with a spatula to create an even layer.
  7. Add Second Ladyfinger Layer: Dip the remaining ladyfingers in coffee and place them over the cream layer to create the second structural layer.
  8. Pipe Remaining Cream: Transfer the remaining mascarpone cream into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe dollops across the second ladyfinger layer, adding texture and extra creaminess.
  9. Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and ladyfingers to soften thoroughly.
  10. Serve: Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder to give a classic tiramisu finish, then slice and enjoy this creamy pumpkin delight.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature mascarpone cheese to ensure a lump-free, smooth cream mixture.
  • Avoid fresh pumpkin puree as it can make the filling watery; rely on canned or well-drained pureed pumpkin for best results.
  • High-fat mascarpone cheese is crucial for a stable, creamy filling.
  • Let the tiramisu chill at least 3 hours, but ideally overnight, to allow proper flavor absorption and texture.
  • Scrape down the bowl sides during mixing to maintain a homogeneous, lump-free cream.
  • Opt for the highest quality ingredients possible to elevate the flavor and texture of your dessert.
