Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

15.87 oz Mascarpone cheese
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Pumpkin puree
2/3 cup Granulated sugar
1/3 cup Brown sugar
2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
2 cup Heavy cream (cold)
28 Ladyfingers
2 cups Coffee (espresso or strong brewed coffee)

Instructions

Prepare Coffee: Brew espresso or strong coffee and let it cool completely to room temperature. Set aside while preparing the mascarpone cream to prevent sogging the ladyfingers too soon.
Mix Mascarpone and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Use an electric hand mixer to blend these ingredients until smooth and well mixed.
Add Pumpkin Puree: Incorporate the pumpkin puree into the mascarpone mixture and blend thoroughly until it’s homogeneously combined with a creamy texture.
Whip the Cream: Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the mascarpone mixture and beat for 3 to 4 minutes until the filling thickens to a spreadable consistency with light peaks.
Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for about 1 to 2 seconds, ensuring they absorb coffee without becoming overly soggy. Arrange a single even layer of soaked ladyfingers in a 13 by 9 inch baking dish.
First Cream Layer: Spread half of the mascarpone-pumpkin cream over the layer of ladyfingers and smooth it out evenly using a spatula.
Second Ladyfinger Layer: Add another coffee-dipped ladyfinger layer on top of the cream layer, arranging them evenly.
Top with Cream Dollops: Transfer the remaining mascarpone mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe dollops across the surface of the ladyfinger layer for an elegant finish.
Chill: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld and the ladyfingers to soften properly.
Serve: Just before serving, generously dust the top with cocoa powder for added richness and classic tiramisu look, then enjoy your creamy pumpkin tiramisu.

Notes

Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling which contains added spices and sugar.
Ensure the coffee is completely cooled before dipping the ladyfingers to prevent them from falling apart.
For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso rather than brewed coffee.
This tiramisu can be prepared a day ahead to enhance flavors.
To make it gluten-free, substitute ladyfingers with gluten-free sponge cookies.
Use heavy cream cold for easier whipping and better volume.
