Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Mascarpone Mixture
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coffee Mixture
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2–3 tablespoons Kahlua or Amaretto (optional)
Tiramisu Assembly
- 24 ladyfingers
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin Mascarpone Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Beat in the softened mascarpone cheese until fully incorporated and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the pumpkin mixture.
- Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, combine the cooled brewed coffee with Kahlua or Amaretto (if using).
- Assemble the Tiramisu:
- Briefly dip each ladyfinger in the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
- Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a glass serving dish or trifle bowl.
- Spread a layer of the pumpkin mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat the layering process, finishing with a final layer of the mascarpone mixture on top.
- Dust and Chill:
- Generously dust the top with cocoa powder.
- Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld.
Notes
- You can prepare this dessert a day ahead for the best results, allowing it to chill overnight.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Kahlua or Amaretto and use a splash of vanilla extract in the coffee mixture instead.
- For a more decadent treat, top with whipped cream or drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
- If you don’t have a trifle dish, any shallow, rectangular or square dish will work.
- The longer this dessert chills, the better the flavors will meld, so don’t rush the chilling process.
