What Makes Pumpkin Tiramisu So Special?

Pumpkin Tiramisu captures everything we love about fall—earthy pumpkin, warming spices, and that unmistakable creaminess. The mascarpone filling is light yet rich, and the coffee-drenched ladyfingers add a welcome contrast. It’s indulgent without being heavy, and shockingly easy to make ahead.

Ingredients for the Creamy Pumpkin Tiramisu

• Mascarpone Cheese – This soft Italian cheese is the creamy base that gives tiramisu its signature richness.
• Pumpkin Puree – Make sure to use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. It adds subtle sweetness and a smooth texture.
• Heavy Whipping Cream – Adds volume and lightness to the mascarpone layer.
• Powdered Sugar – Sweetens the cream mixture without making it grainy.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice – A cozy blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove to elevate the pumpkin flavor.
• Vanilla Extract – Rounds out the flavor with a hint of warmth.
• Espresso or Strong Coffee – Soaks into the ladyfingers for that classic tiramisu touch.
• Ladyfinger Cookies – Crisp and absorbent, these form the layers that hold everything together.
• Cocoa Powder – For dusting the top with just the right bitter contrast.

How To Make the Creamy Pumpkin Tiramisu

Step 1: Whip the Cream

Using a handheld or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set it aside.

Step 2: Create the Pumpkin Mascarpone Filling

In a large bowl, mix together the mascarpone cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Fold in the whipped cream gently until fully combined.

Step 3: Dip the Ladyfingers

Pour espresso or strong coffee into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger—just a second or two per side—so they soften but don’t get soggy.

Step 4: Assemble the Layers

In a 9×9-inch dish, place a layer of dipped ladyfingers. Spread half of the pumpkin mascarpone mixture on top. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and the remaining cream.

Step 5: Chill and Dust

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, sift a generous dusting of cocoa powder over the top.
