3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Best Pumpkin Tiramisù

Preparing the Pumpkin Layer

Mix the pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie spice to infuse it with warm fall flavors. Set aside.

Whipping the Cream Mixture

In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, blend mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.

Assembling the Pumpkin Tiramisu

Briefly dip ladyfingers into a mixture of pumpkin and a splash of coffee (optional for an added kick), then layer them in a serving dish. Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Add a spoonful of pumpkin puree over the mascarpone layer. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a mascarpone layer on top.

Chilling the Dessert

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully and the dessert to set.

4. Storage Tips for Pumpkin Tiramisu

Keep your fall dessert tiramisu refrigerated in an airtight container. This helps retain its creamy texture and delicious flavor. It can be stored for up to 2 days for optimal freshness, but we recommend serving within 24 hours for the best taste.

5. Serving Suggestions and Garnishes

Serve your creamy pumpkin tiramisu chilled, garnished with chocolate shavings, toasted pecans, or a dusting of extra pumpkin pie spice. For an added luxurious touch, consider plating with a drizzle of caramel or maple syrup. Pair it with a warm cup of coffee or hot cider for the perfect fall treat.
