Description

This Pumpkin Spice Tiramisu is a delightful autumn-inspired dessert that marries the classic Italian tiramisu with seasonal pumpkin spice flavors. Layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers are complemented by a creamy, smooth mascarpone and pumpkin mixture, sweetened naturally with maple syrup. Finished with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon, this no-bake treat is perfect for fall gatherings and is best when made a day ahead to let flavors meld.


Ingredients

Mascarpone Mixture

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
  • ½ tsp pumpkin spice

Assembly

  • 12 ladyfingers (or low-carb biscuits as a substitute)
  • 1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • ½ cup whipped cream
  • Cinnamon, for dusting


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Mascarpone Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Soak the Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the brewed espresso or coffee. They should be soaked quickly to avoid becoming too soggy and falling apart.
  3. Layer the Dessert: Arrange a layer of the espresso-soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish. Spread half of the pumpkin mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
  4. Chill the Tiramisu: Cover the assembled tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
  5. Finishing Touches: Before serving, top the tiramisu with the whipped cream and dust lightly with cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth and flavor.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and texture, prepare the tiramisu a day in advance.
  • Use strong brewed espresso for the most authentic taste, but strong coffee works as a good alternative.
  • Ladyfingers can be substituted with low-carb biscuits if desired for a lower-carb version.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Serve chilled and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
