Ingredients:

For the Pumpkin Mascarpone Filling:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks

For the Coffee Dip:

  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)

For Assembly:

  • 1 package ladyfingers (about 24)
  • Cocoa powder or cinnamon, for dusting

Directions:

1. Prepare the Pumpkin Mascarpone Filling:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until creamy.
  • Fold the spiced pumpkin mixture into the mascarpone mixture, and then gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Coffee Dip:

  • In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee, sugar (if using), pumpkin spice syrup, and coffee liqueur. Stir until well mixed. Allow the mixture to cool.

3. Assemble the Tiramisu:

  • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, making sure to coat both sides but avoid soaking them (about 1-2 seconds per side).
  • Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.
  • Spread half of the pumpkin mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  • Add another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers on top, followed by the remaining pumpkin mascarpone mixture.

4. Chill:

  • Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The longer it chills, the better the flavors will meld.

5. Serve:

  • Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder or cinnamon for a beautiful finish. If you’re feeling extra festive, add a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice on top.
  • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, spiced goodness!
