Pumpkin Tiramisu

Pumpkin tiramisu for two is no bake pumpkin dessert made with ladyfingers, espresso, dark rum and pumpkin spice whipped cream.

Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it.

Where has all the tiramisu gone? Did 1995 take it all, or did the Olive Garden serve the last slice left in this world? I feel like it used to be so prevalent on dessert menus, but not anymore, and I think that’s a shame.

Tiramisu is one of the easiest, most impressive desserts I can pull together in a flash. If you can dip cookies in coffee, stir together a mousse filling, and layer the two together—you’ve got a fancy dessert in no time! How many no-bake desserts have the complexity of flavor of tiramisu? 

Pumpkin Tiramisu Recipe

This pumpkin version couldn’t be easier:  I dipped ladyfingers in espresso spiked with dark rum. Then, I stirred together the easiest pumpkin mousse filling: softened mascarpone cheese, pumpkin pie spice, powdered sugar, and, well, canned pumpkin. You're just four ingredients away from a beautiful messy pile of sweetness on your plate. Seriously, can someone help me scoop tiramisu neatly next time?

This is one of those tiny casserole dishes that holds 4 cups of liquid to the brim. I think they call it a 1 quart dish, but regardless, any small casserole dish will work for this recipe. Here's a great one to use that's oval and perfectly shaped. 

You could even use mini trifle cups like I do with my apple cider tiramisu recipe (though, you will get 4 servings instead of 2--not a bad problem to have). I do two layers with 6 ladyfingers each, which will use half of a standard package of ladyfingers. You could make my classic authentic tiramisu to use up the rest of the package. 

I really want you to make this pumpkin tiramisu, especially if you love pumpkin spice lattes. It's the flavors of a pumpkin spice latte with the addition of cake, and this pumpkin tiramisu makes me feel like I'm really good at life today.

Next time you need a quick pumpkin dessert for two, I hope this pumpkin tiramisu comes together for you. You might ask, so I'll go ahead and clarify that you may you cream cheese if you can't find mascarpone, but increase the sugar by 1 tablespoon in that case, ok? Mascarpone is slightly smoother, creamier, and sweeter than regular cream cheese, but either will work for this recipe.
