Ingredients
Scale
Cream Cheese Pumpkin Mixture
- 1 lb. cream cheese
- 15 oz. pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin (Knox)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Assembly
- 3 cups strongly brewed coffee
- 2 packages 14 oz. ladyfingers (40 pieces)
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
- Pumpkin spice, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Pumpkin Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin spice, and pumpkin puree using a hand mixer until well combined. Set aside.
- Whip the Cream: Using the hand mixer, whisk the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Mix powdered gelatin with cold water, then microwave for 10 seconds. Stir until the gelatin crystals dissolve completely.
- Incorporate Gelatin into Whipped Cream: Add the dissolved gelatin to the thickening whipped cream and continue whisking until soft peaks form and the cream holds its shape.
- Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the brewed coffee, fully submerging them, then evenly line the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan.
- Layer Mixtures: Spread half of the pumpkin cream cheese mixture over the soaked ladyfingers using a small offset spatula, then top with half the whipped cream mixture.
- Repeat Layers: Add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining pumpkin cream cheese and whipped cream mixtures.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow flavors to meld and set properly.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with pumpkin spice and chocolate shavings. Cut into portions and enjoy.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the best texture and flavor.
- Quickly dip ladyfingers to avoid sogginess; they should be saturated but not falling apart.
- The gelatin helps stabilize the whipped cream so the tiramisu holds its shape better.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or strong brewed coffee mixed with a splash of rum if desired.
- Allowing the tiramisu to chill overnight enhances the melding of flavors.
- Chocolate shavings can be substituted with cocoa powder dusting if preferred.
