This Pumpkin Tiramisu is a delightful fall twist on the classic Italian dessert. Layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone, and spiced pumpkin create a truly decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3 ounces) ladyfingers
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine cooled coffee and 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree.
  2. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and arrange in a single layer in the bottom of a 8×8 inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, remaining pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  6. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
