Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 200 g pumpkin puree
- 250 g mascarpone cheese
- 180 g heavy cream
- 120 g espresso or strong coffee
- 150 g ladyfingers
- 70 g granulated sugar
- 30 g brown sugar
- 5 g vanilla extract
- 3 g cinnamon
- 1 g nutmeg
- 10 g cocoa powder
- 1 g salt
Instructions
- Prepare Espresso: Brew espresso and let it cool to room temperature to ensure it does not make the ladyfingers soggy.
- Mix Pumpkin Base: Whisk pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt together until smooth and well combined.
- Whip Cream and Mascarpone: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold in mascarpone cheese until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
- Combine Mixtures: Fold the pumpkin mixture into the mascarpone and whipped cream base carefully to maintain airiness and light texture.
- Layer Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger in the cooled espresso, avoiding soaking them completely to keep texture intact. Place soaked ladyfingers in individual serving cups or small glasses to form the first layer.
- Add Cream Layers: Spoon a generous layer of the pumpkin-mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat the dipping and layering process once more to create a second layer.
- Finishing Touch: Smooth the tops with a spatula and dust with cocoa powder to add the classic tiramisu finish.
- Chill: Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream for better whipping results.
- Do not soak ladyfingers too long in espresso to prevent a soggy dessert.
- For a richer flavor, use freshly brewed espresso instead of instant coffee.
- Dust cocoa powder just before serving to keep it fresh and visually appealing.
- This dessert can be prepared a day in advance for enhanced flavor melding.
