Description
Three delicious layers of espresso-soaked lady fingers, creamy pumpkin spiced mascarpone filling and dusted with cocoa powder and pumpkin spice.
Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
16 oz mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
28–48 lady fingers (depending on size)
2 cup espresso or stronger coffee
1 tsp vanilla
Homemade Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
Pumpkin Spice Cocoa Dusting
1/4 cup dutch cocoa powder
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- In an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk together pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, mascarpone and heavy whipping cream. Whisk on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Prepare espresso and strong coffee for dipping the lady fingers. Pour espresso into a shallow bowl and add vanilla. Stir to mix.
- Dip each lady finger, one at a time, into the coffee for 1-2 seconds max and place on baking dish in a single layer. When soaking the lady fingers, you want to make sure the they don’t get too soft and crumble. Line bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish with the coffee soaked lady fingers in a single layer, making sure there are minimal gaps.
- Scoop 1/3 of the pumpkin mascarpone mixture on top of the lady fingers, spreading into an even layer. Add another single layer of coffee-soaked lady fingers on top and repeat with another 1/3 of the mascarpone mixture. Add a third layer of lady fingers and the last of the mascarpone. (Note: 3 layers will only work if you have a dish that is at least 3 inches deep. If you are using a shallower pan, only do 2 layers of lady fingers and pumpkin filling)
- The final layer is a thin layer of whipped cream. Add heavy cream and vanilla to the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk on high until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes). Gently spread whipped cream on top of the tiramisu.
- Using a sifter, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder and pumpkin pie spice mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill tiramisu in the fridge for 2-3 hours before serving. Serve with coffee or tea!
