A quick and easy fall dessert that combines the warm flavors of pumpkin spice latte with the creamy texture of classic tiramisu. Perfect for cozy autumn evenings and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/3 cup (70g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree (canned or homemade; avoid pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) strong brewed espresso or dark coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi are ideal)
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Ground cinnamon, for dusting
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coffee soak: Brew a strong cup of espresso or dark coffee. Let it cool completely, then stir in the coffee liqueur if using. Set aside.
  2. Make the pumpkin spice latte cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth using an electric mixer at medium speed. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until soft peaks form (around 3-4 minutes). Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone, then add pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Fold carefully until fully combined but still light and airy.
  3. Assemble the tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee soak — don’t soak too long or they’ll get soggy. Lay a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in the baking dish. Spread half of the pumpkin cream evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Chill and set: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This resting time lets the flavors meld and the ladyfingers soften to that perfect tiramisu texture.
  5. Finish and serve: Just before serving, sift a generous layer of cocoa powder and a light sprinkle of cinnamon over the top. Add dark chocolate shavings for a little extra indulgence if you like.

Notes

If the pumpkin cream feels too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or cream during folding to loosen it. Dip ladyfingers quickly (1-2 seconds per side) to avoid sogginess. Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Use gentle folding motions to keep the cream light and airy. Variations include vegan substitutions and adding spices like cardamom or cloves.
