Ingredients

Scale

Mascarpone Pumpkin Cream

  • 15.87 oz Mascarpone Cheese (Select a high-quality brand for the best texture)
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree (Ensure it’s pure puree, not pie filling)
  • 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar (Reduce if using sweetened whipped cream)
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar (Can be swapped with coconut sugar for a twist)
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice (Mix your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger if needed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt (Fine sea salt works in a pinch)
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream (Try whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free option)

Assembly

  • 28 pieces Ladyfingers (Homemade or sponge cake can also be used as a substitute)
  • 2 cups Espresso or Strong Coffee (Soaks the ladyfingers for flavor; cold brew works well if brewed strong)
  • Cocoa Powder (Dusts the dessert before serving, adding a rich contrast to the sweetness of the pumpkin)

Instructions

  1. Brew Coffee: Start by preparing your espresso or strong coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature so it doesn’t make the ladyfingers soggy.
  2. Make Mascarpone Pumpkin Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and creamy. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Gradually pour in the cold heavy cream, whipping for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is thick and mousse-like.
  3. Layer 1: Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the cooled coffee for 1-2 seconds to slightly soak them without becoming soggy. Arrange these in a single layer at the bottom of a 13×9 inch dish.
  4. Cream Layer: Spread half of the mascarpone pumpkin cream evenly over the first layer of ladyfingers, ensuring they are fully covered.
  5. Layer 2: Repeat the dipping and layering process with a second layer of ladyfingers on top of the cream layer.
  6. Top: Use the remaining mascarpone pumpkin cream to pipe or spread over the second layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it or adding texture as you prefer.
  7. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results to allow flavors to meld and dessert to firm up.
  8. Finish & Serve: Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder to add a rich, slightly bitter contrast to the sweet pumpkin cream.

Notes

  • Use high-quality mascarpone cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Ensure the pumpkin puree is plain and not sweetened or spiced separately.
  • Dipping ladyfingers briefly in coffee prevents sogginess but allows flavor absorption.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with whipped coconut cream and use a suitable mascarpone alternative.
  • Allowing the tiramisu to chill overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
  • You can adjust sugar quantities based on your sweetness preference.
