Ingredients
Maple Espresso Soak
- 200 g strong italian espresso (7 oz.)
- 20 g maple syrup (1 tbsp.)
Pumpkin Tiramisu Filling
- 226 g mascarpone (1 c.)
- 120 g pumpkin puree (½ c.)
- 50 g granulated sugar (¼ c.)
- 2 tsp. vanilla bean paste
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¾ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 240 g heavy whipping cream (8 oz.)
- 24* ladyfingers
- cocoa powder for dusting
Maple Whipped Cream
- 240 g heavy whipping cream (8 oz.)
- 30 g maple syrup (1 1/2 tbsp.)
- 1/8 tsp. salt
Instructions
Maple Espresso Soak
- Brew the espresso into a shallow bowl, then mix in the maple syrup. Set the mixture in the fridge to cool while you make the mascarpone filling.
Pumpkin Tiramisu Filling
- In a medium sized mixing bowl with a hand or stand mixer, beat together the mascarpone, pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla bean paste, salt and pumpkin pie spice just until combined.
- Slowly beat in the heavy whipping cream. Continue to beat until the mixture reaches stiff peaks.
- Line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper to form a hammock for the tiramisu so it's easier to pull out later on.
- Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the espresso mixture on both sides, then layer them into a single layer on the bottom of the loaf pan
- Top with ⅓ of the mascarpone cream mixture and smooth it out into an even layer.
- Dip more of the ladyfingers into the espresso mixture, and layer them on top of the mascarpone
- Spread ½ of the rest of the mascarpone cream on top of the ladyfingers. Then, top it off with another layer of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap, and set it in the fridge to chill and firm up for at least 4 hours. Once you're ready to serve the tiramisu, make the whipped cream.
Maple Whipped Cream
- Add the heavy whipping cream, maple syrup, and salt to a medium sized mixing bowl. Beat with a stand mixer (or hand mixer) until soft peaks form.
- Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a v-shaped piping tip. Pipe the whipped cream over the tiramisu, dust it with cocoa powder, then slice, serve, and enjoy!
