A cozy autumn dessert combining the warm, spiced sweetness of pumpkin with classic Italian tiramisu layers, featuring cinnamon mascarpone and espresso-soaked ladyfingers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi), store-bought or homemade
  • Ground cinnamon, for dusting
  • Grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix gently with a spatula until smooth and combined. Avoid overmixing.
  2. In a chilled medium bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mascarpone mixture using a spatula to keep it fluffy and airy.
  4. In a shallow dish, combine cooled espresso, coffee liqueur, and brown sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture (about 1 second per side; do not soak). Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread half of the pumpkin mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone cream. Smooth the top layer with a spatula.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Before serving, dust the top generously with ground cinnamon and optionally, grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder.

Notes

Dip ladyfingers quickly (about 1 second per side) to avoid sogginess. Keep mascarpone and cream cold for best whipping results. Chill tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal flavor and texture. Freshly brewed espresso cooled to room temperature is best. Variations include dairy-free and gluten-free options.
