Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer or whisk
  • 1 9x9 inch baking dish
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 shallow dish
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup coffee strongly brewed and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 package (7 oz) ladyfinger cookies
  • to taste amount cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until smooth and creamy.
  • Prepare a shallow dish with the strongly brewed coffee. Dip each ladyfinger in the coffee for just a few seconds, ensuring they soak without becoming too soggy.
  • Begin layering your tiramisu in the baking dish. Start by placing a layer of dipped ladyfingers on the bottom of the dish.
  • Spread half of the pumpkin mixture over the ladyfingers in an even layer.
  • Add another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers on top of the pumpkin layer, and finish with the remaining pumpkin mixture.
  • Smooth the top with a rubber spatula and cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  • Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing a splash of maple syrup into the coffee.
This dessert can be made a day in advance, making it a great option for gatherings.
You can use pumpkin pie spice instead of ground cinnamon and nutmeg for a more traditional flavor profile.
