Creamy Pumpkin Tiramisu (Print-Friendly Version)

Silky layers of pumpkin puree and mascarpone blend with espresso-soaked ladyfingers for a smooth, creamy finish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pumpkin Mascarpone Filling

01 - 250 grams mascarpone cheese
02 - 120 grams pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
03 - 50 grams powdered sugar
04 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
05 - 5 grams pumpkin pie spice

→ Whipped Cream

06 - 240 milliliters heavy cream

→ Layering

07 - 200 grams Italian-style ladyfingers (savoiardi)
08 - 180 milliliters espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled
09 - 5 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring a stable and airy texture.
02 - In a separate bowl, combine mascarpone, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
03 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mascarpone mixture with a spatula, maintaining the mousse-like fluffiness.
04 - Briefly dip each ladyfinger in cooled espresso for 1-2 seconds per side; avoid oversaturation to prevent sogginess.
05 - Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in a 23x23 cm dish, spread half of the pumpkin mascarpone filling evenly over them. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and remaining filling.
06 - Refrigerate assembled layers for at least 6 hours or overnight to set flavors and texture. Prior to serving, dust the surface generously with cocoa powder.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Use Italian-style ladyfingers (savoiardi) to maintain structure and prevent sogginess.
02 - Pumpkin puree should be unsweetened and thick; strain if too watery.
03 - For a caffeine-free option, substitute espresso with chai tea or hot cocoa.
