- Cook Time: 4 hours
- Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
- For the filling:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon chicory coffee (or brewed chicory)
- For the layers:
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon chicory coffee (optional)
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- Cocoa powder for dusting
- Optional: crushed nuts or dark chocolate shavings for garnish
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and chicory coffee. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully combined and light.
- Prepare the coffee: Brew a cup of coffee and let it cool. If using, mix in the chicory coffee for added flavor.
- Assemble the tiramisu: Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them. Lay half of the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of a 9×9 inch (or similar size) dish.
- Layer the filling: Spread half of the pumpkin filling over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
- Repeat the layers: Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining pumpkin filling. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with crushed nuts or dark chocolate shavings if desired.
