A cozy autumn dessert combining the rich flavors of pumpkin spice latte and classic tiramisu with a creamy texture and warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade; organic recommended)
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or homemade blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package ladyfingers (about 24 pieces)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Optional garnish: cinnamon sticks or extra pumpkin spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves and spices are evenly distributed. Set aside.
  2. Brew and Cool the Espresso: Make 1 cup strong espresso or coffee and let it cool completely. Stir in coffee liqueur if using.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer.
  4. Mix Mascarpone and Pumpkin: Fold the pumpkin spice mixture into mascarpone cheese until smooth. Then gently fold in the whipped cream, preserving airiness.
  5. Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso mixture for 1-2 seconds per side. Arrange a single layer in the baking dish.
  6. Layer the Cream: Spread half of the mascarpone-pumpkin cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and remaining cream.
  7. Chill: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  8. Finish and Serve: Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine sieve. Garnish with cinnamon sticks or extra pumpkin pie spice if desired.

Notes

Do not soak ladyfingers too long to avoid sogginess. Use room temperature mascarpone for easier mixing. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid overwhipping. Chill at least 4 hours for best texture. Freshly brewed strong espresso is recommended over instant coffee.
