Questions I often get asked about this recipe:

Can I use store-bought pumpkin pie filling instead of pure pumpkin puree?
While you can use pumpkin pie filling, it often contains added sugars and spices, which might alter the flavor profile of your tiramisu. For a more authentic pumpkin taste, fresh pumpkin puree is recommended.

Can I substitute mascarpone cheese?
While mascarpone cheese provides a unique creaminess and texture, you can substitute it with cream cheese. However, the flavor might be slightly different.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! This tiramisu is even better after a night in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld. You can prepare it a day or two in advance.

Can I add more spice to the recipe?
Feel free to increase the amount of cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg to taste. You can also add other warm spices like cloves or cardamom.

What other liquor can I use besides Kahlua or Amaretto?
You can experiment with other coffee-flavored liqueurs or even omit the alcohol altogether if preferred.

Can I freeze this tiramisu?
Freezing tiramisu is not recommended as it can alter the texture. It’s best to enjoy it fresh or refrigerated.

What you need to make Pumpkin Pie Tiramisu:

For the Pumpkin Mascarpone Mixture:

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Pinch of ground nutmeg

16 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Coffee Mixture:

2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled

2-3 tablespoons Kahlua or Amaretto (optional)

For the Tiramisu Assembly:

24 ladyfingers

Cocoa powder, for dusting

How to make it:

Prepare the Pumpkin Mascarpone Mixture:

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

Beat in the softened mascarpone cheese until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the pumpkin mixture along with the vanilla extract.

Prepare the Coffee Mixture:

In a shallow dish, combine the cooled strong brewed coffee with the optional Kahlua or Amaretto.

Assemble the Tiramisu:

Dip ladyfingers briefly in the coffee mixture, just enough to moisten them.

In a glass serving dish, layer the soaked ladyfingers.

Spread a layer of pumpkin mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

Repeat layers of ladyfingers and pumpkin mascarpone mixture, ending with a layer of mascarpone mixture.

Cover the top with a generous dusting of cocoa powder.

Refrigerate:

Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use espresso instead of coffee.

If you don’t have ladyfingers, you can use sponge cake cut into strips.

For extra indulgence, drizzle the tiramisu with caramel sauce before serving.
