Creamy Pumpkin Tiramisu Spice (Print)

Pumpkin mascarpone cream, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and whipped topping for a decadent fall treat.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 15.87 oz mascarpone cheese
02 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 - ½ cup pumpkin puree
04 - ⅔ cup granulated sugar
05 - ⅓ cup brown sugar
06 - 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
07 - ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 2 cups heavy cream, cold
09 - 28 ladyfingers
10 - 2 cups coffee (espresso or strong coffee)

# How to Make It:

01 - Make the espresso coffee and let it cool for a few minutes. Set aside while you are making the mascarpone cream.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, add the mascarpone cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix with an electric hand mixer until well combined.
03 - Add the pumpkin puree to the mixture and mix until combined.
04 - Add the cold heavy whipping cream and mix for another 3-4 minutes until the filling thickens.
05 - Dip the ladyfingers quickly in the coffee (1-2 seconds) and lay them in an even layer in a 13 by 9 inch baking dish.
06 - Top the soaked ladyfingers with half of the mascarpone mixture and smooth it out with a spatula. Add another layer of the dipped ladyfingers.
07 - Transfer the rest of the filling into a piping bag with a star tip and make dollops of the cream all over the ladyfinger layer.
08 - Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to allow the ladyfingers to soften.
09 - Generously top the tiramisu with plenty of cocoa powder and serve.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Use room-temperature mascarpone cheese to ensure easier mixing without lumps.
02 - Avoid fresh pumpkin puree unless thoroughly drained to prevent a runny filling.
03 - Use high-fat mascarpone cheese for a stable dessert.
04 - Chill the tiramisu in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
05 - Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently while mixing to ensure a homogeneous mixture.
06 - Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
