Ingredients
Scale
For the Cream Mixture
- 400 millilitres whipping cream (approximately 1 2/3 cups)
- 750 grams mascarpone cheese (approximately 26 oz)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons instant coffee granules (to taste)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned, NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Assembly
- 3–4 cups strong coffee, cooled
- 30–36 ladyfinger cookies
- Cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer in a large bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside carefully.
- Prepare Mascarpone Mixture: In another bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and instant coffee granules at low speed until well combined using your stand mixer, hand mixer, or whisk by hand.
- Add Pumpkin Flavorings: Stir in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the mascarpone mixture.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture with a spatula until no streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the cream.
- Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled strong coffee to absorb some liquid—but avoid soaking too long to prevent sogginess. Line the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish with a single layer of these soaked ladyfingers.
- First Cream Layer: Spread half of the creamy pumpkin mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer, smoothing out the surface.
- Second Ladyfinger Layer: Add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top of the cream layer, arranging them evenly.
- Top with Remaining Cream: Spread the remaining mascarpone cream mixture over the second layer of ladyfingers, smoothing the top.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu uncovered for about 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and dessert to set.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the top generously with cinnamon for an aromatic finish. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and spice levels.
- Instant coffee granules can be adjusted depending on how strong you want the coffee flavor.
- Dipping ladyfingers briefly in coffee avoids sogginess and keeps texture intact.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead, making it ideal for entertaining.
- Refrigerate uncovered to prevent condensation from forming on the top layer.
