Ingredients

Scale

Mascarpone Cream Mixture

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • Kosher salt, a pinch
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (strained if fresh)
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream

Ladyfingers and Coffee

  • 1 package (about 24) ladyfingers (store-bought or homemade)
  • ¾ cup espresso coffee, cooled
  • 1–2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional, e.g., amaretto or marsala)

Topping

  • Dutch-process cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee: Brew ¾ cup of espresso coffee using a coffee machine or dissolve instant coffee in hot water to make a strong coffee. Allow it to cool to room temperature. Optionally, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur.
  2. Mix Mascarpone Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine room temperature mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, a pinch of kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Pumpkin Puree: Incorporate the pumpkin puree into the mascarpone mixture, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Whip Heavy Cream: Pour cold heavy whipping cream into the mixture and continue to mix for 3-4 minutes until the filling thickens and becomes fluffy.
  5. Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee (1-2 seconds per side) to avoid sogginess, then arrange them in a single even layer in a 13 by 9 inch baking dish.
  6. Layer the Cream: Spread half of the mascarpone-pumpkin cream evenly over the soaked ladyfingers using a spatula.
  7. Add Second Ladyfinger Layer: Dip another layer of ladyfingers in the coffee and place over the cream layer in the dish.
  8. Pipe Remaining Cream: Transfer the remaining mascarpone cream into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe dollops evenly over the second layer of ladyfingers.
  9. Chill: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the ladyfingers to soften and flavors to meld.
  10. Serve: Just before serving, generously dust the top with Dutch-process cocoa powder to enhance the final presentation and add rich chocolate flavor.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature mascarpone cheese to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth cream mixture.
  • If using fresh pumpkin puree, strain thoroughly to remove excess liquid to prevent a runny filling.
  • Prefer full-fat mascarpone cheese for better texture and stability in the dessert.
  • Letting the tiramisu chill for at least 3-4 hours, preferably overnight, enhances flavor and softens the ladyfingers properly.
