This Delicious Easy Creamy Pumpkin Tiramisu is a perfect fall dessert that combines the rich flavors of mascarpone, pumpkin puree, and warm spices. Layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers are enveloped in a luscious pumpkin cream, then chilled to create a creamy, mousse-like treat finished with a dusting of cocoa powder. Ideal for seasonal gatherings or cozy nights, this tiramisu blends traditional Italian dessert with a festive autumn twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Mascarpone Pumpkin Cream

  • 15.87 oz Mascarpone Cheese (Select a high-quality brand for the best texture)
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree (Ensure it’s pure puree, not pie filling)
  • 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar (Reduce if using sweetened whipped cream)
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar (Can be swapped with coconut sugar for a twist)
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice (Mix your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger if needed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt (Fine sea salt works in a pinch)
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream (Try whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Assembly

  • 28 pieces Ladyfingers (Homemade or sponge cake can also be used as a substitute)
  • 2 cups Espresso or Strong Coffee (Soaks the ladyfingers for flavor; cold brew works well if brewed strong)
  • Cocoa Powder (for dusting before serving)

Instructions

  1. Brew Coffee: Start by preparing your espresso or strong coffee. Allow it to cool completely to room temperature to prevent soggy ladyfingers.
  2. Make Mascarpone Pumpkin Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and creamy. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually pour in the cold heavy cream and whip for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and mousse-like.
  3. Layer 1: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for just 1-2 seconds to soak slightly without becoming soggy. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a 13×9 inch dish.
  4. Cream Layer: Spread half of the mascarpone pumpkin cream evenly over the first layer of ladyfingers, covering them completely for a rich texture.
  5. Layer 2: Repeat the dipping and layering process with the remaining ladyfingers, placing them as a second layer atop the cream.
  6. Top: Spread or pipe the remaining pumpkin mascarpone cream over the second layer of ladyfingers, smoothing or texturing as desired for presentation.
  7. Chill: Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld and the cream to set, preferably overnight for best results.
  8. Finish & Serve: Just before serving, generously dust the top with cocoa powder to add a rich contrast and classic tiramisu finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the coffee is fully cooled before dipping the ladyfingers to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid extra sweetness and added spices.
  • You can substitute coconut whipped cream and mascarpone alternatives to make it dairy-free, but textures will vary.
  • For a stronger pumpkin spice flavor, add a bit more pumpkin pie spice or garnish with cinnamon dust.
  • This tiramisu is best served chilled but can be frozen for up to a week; thaw in the fridge before serving.
  • Use good-quality mascarpone cheese for the richest texture and flavor.
