Easy Pumpkin Tiramisu: Delicious Fall Dessert Recipe!

Okay, here we go! Let’s chat about something that might just save your sanity this fall: Pumpkin Tiramisu.

Remember that time the school called right as I was about to start dinner, and I ended up serving cereal for the third night in a row? Yeah, we all have those moments. That’s when I knew I needed a dessert that was easy, impressive, and screamed “fall” without requiring a culinary degree. Enter: my Pumpkin Tiramisu.

This wasn’t some Pinterest-fail waiting to happen. It was a real, honest-to-goodness, mom-approved dessert that even my pickiest eater couldn’t resist. The first time I made this Pumpkin Tiramisu, it was a chilly October evening. The kids were doing homework (or pretending to), the leaves were falling outside, and the smell of pumpkin spice filled the house. It was pure magic. And it’s been a staple ever since.

What made it memorable? The look on my kids’ faces when they tasted it. The fact that it took me less than 30 minutes to throw together. And the fact that it actually tasted amazing!

This Pumpkin Tiramisu fits perfectly into my family life because it’s quick, easy, and everyone loves it. It’s a no-bake dessert that’s perfect for busy weeknights, potlucks, or holiday gatherings. It is a real life sanity saver!

Fellow kitchen warriors, if you’re looking for a dessert that’s both delicious and stress-free, you’ve come to the right place! This Pumpkin Tiramisu is about to become your new best friend.

Okay, mama’s, let’s get real. The ingredient list for this Pumpkin Tiramisu is short and sweet because ain’t nobody got time for complicated recipes!

• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree: Not pumpkin pie filling! You can find this at any grocery store.
• 1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese: This is what gives the tiramisu its creamy texture. Find it near the specialty cheeses.
• 1 cup heavy cream: For extra richness and fluffiness.
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar: To sweeten things up!
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice: Because it wouldn’t be pumpkin spice tiramisu without it!
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds a little extra flavor.
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled: This is for dipping the ladyfingers. Decaf works too!
• 24 ladyfingers: The classic tiramisu base. Find these in the bakery or Italian section.
• Cocoa powder, for dusting: For a pretty finish and a hint of chocolate.

No worries if you don’t have mascarpone cheese – I’ve used cream cheese in a pinch, and it works just fine in this Pumpkin Tiramisu. It won’t be quite as authentic, but it’ll still be delicious.

You can grab most of these ingredients at Target or Walmart while doing your regular grocery run. This Pumpkin Tiramisu doesn’t have to break the bank!

Here’s a mom hack that saved my sanity: I buy the ladyfingers pre-packaged to save time. You can also make your own, but who has time for that?!

Store any leftover Pumpkin Tiramisu in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. But trust me, it probably won’t last that long!

My family loves when I add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top along with the cocoa powder. It adds an extra layer of warmth and spice to this fall tiramisu.

Trust me, this Pumpkin Tiramisu ingredient list is SHORT because mama doesn’t have time for fancy!

Alright, fellow kitchen warriors, let’s get this Pumpkin Tiramisu party started! Don’t worry, it’s easier than folding a fitted sheet (and way more rewarding).

1. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. This is where the magic happens!
2. Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for just a few seconds, until lightly soaked. Don’t oversoak them, or they’ll get soggy!
3. In a 9×13 inch dish, arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer. This will be the base of your no bake pumpkin tiramisu.
4. Spread half of the pumpkin mixture over the ladyfingers. Make sure to cover them evenly.
5. Repeat layers with the remaining ladyfingers and pumpkin mixture.
6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and the tiramisu to set.
7. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. This adds a touch of elegance and a hint of chocolate.

In my chaotic kitchen, this Pumpkin Tiramisu usually takes about 20 minutes to assemble, plus the chilling time. Perfect time to fold that laundry pile while it’s chilling!

Your Pumpkin Tiramisu should smell amazing by now – like a pumpkin spice latte in dessert form!

Don’t panic if your Pumpkin Tiramisu looks a little messy when you’re assembling it. It all comes together in the end!

Here’s where I used to mess up my Pumpkin Tiramisu – I would oversoak the ladyfingers! Now I know to just dip them for a few seconds.

While your Pumpkin Tiramisu is doing its thing in the fridge, pour yourself that well-deserved coffee! You deserve it! You can also find more easy no bake recipes like this Pumpkin Tiramisu {easy no bake tiramisu recipe}- The Busy Baker.

This easy pumpkin tiramisu reminds me of another family favorite, Pumpkin French Toast Roll-Ups.

If your kids love this, they’ll go crazy for homemade spiced pumpkin butter.

Okay, so the Pumpkin Tiramisu is made, it’s chilled, and you’re ready to dig in. But how do we make this a real family affair?

The kids devour this Pumpkin Tiramisu when I serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s the perfect combination of creamy, sweet, and spicy.

This Pumpkin Tiramisu is perfect for those crazy weeknight dinners when you need a quick and easy dessert to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. It’s also great for potlucks, Thanksgiving, or any fall gathering.

For presentation, I like to serve it in individual glass dishes so everyone gets their own perfect portion. But let’s be real, sometimes I just scoop it straight from the dish!

Leftovers? If you have any (which is a big IF), you can use them to make a Pumpkin Tiramisu parfait. Just layer the tiramisu with granola and yogurt for a delicious breakfast or snack.

For a seasonal variation, try adding some chopped pecans or walnuts to the fall tiramisu. It adds a nice crunch and nutty flavor.

My guests always rave about this Pumpkin Tiramisu. They’re always surprised at how easy it is to make!

The kids love this Pumpkin Tiramisu so much that they ask for it year-round!

Alright, let’s tackle those burning questions you have about making this Pumpkin Tiramisu. I’ve been there, I’ve messed it up, and I’ve learned from my mistakes. So, let’s get real!

Can my picky eater handle this Pumpkin Tiramisu?

Honestly, it depends on your picky eater. But most kids love the creamy texture and the subtle pumpkin spice flavor. You can always leave off the cocoa powder if they’re not a fan. My little one who hates pumpkin loves this easy pumpkin tiramisu.

What if I burn my Pumpkin Tiramisu? (Asking for a friend… okay, it was me!)

Since this is a no-bake Pumpkin Tiramisu, you can’t exactly burn it. But if you oversoak the ladyfingers, they’ll get soggy. So, just dip them for a few seconds!

Can I make this Pumpkin Tiramisu ahead for meal prep?

Yes! In fact, this Pumpkin Tiramisu is even better when it’s made ahead of time. The flavors meld together and it sets up perfectly. Make it a day or two in advance for best results.

Can I freeze this Pumpkin Tiramisu?

I don’t recommend freezing this Pumpkin Tiramisu, as the texture of the mascarpone cheese can change. It’s best enjoyed fresh.

What if I don’t have ladyfingers?

You can substitute with sponge cake or even graham crackers in a pinch. Just make sure to adjust the dipping time accordingly.

Can I use a different type of milk instead of heavy cream?

You can try using half-and-half or even whole milk, but the Pumpkin Tiramisu won’t be as rich and creamy. Heavy cream is really the best option.

How long will this Pumpkin Tiramisu last in the fridge?

This Pumpkin Tiramisu will last for up to 3 days in the fridge, but it’s best enjoyed within the first 24 hours.
