- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, at room temperature - 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup (store-bought or homemade) - 1 cup mascarpone cheese - 1 cup heavy cream - 1/2 cup powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi) - 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend - Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting - Optional garnishes (chocolate shavings, ground cinnamon) You will need simple items for this tasty dessert. I love using strong brewed coffee for bold flavor. Pumpkin spice syrup adds sweetness and warmth. Mascarpone cheese gives the dessert its creamy texture. Heavy cream whips up fluffy and light. Powdered sugar sweetens without adding grit. Vanilla extract boosts flavor. Ladyfinger cookies soak up the coffee and become soft. The pumpkin spice blend enhances the scent and taste. Unsweetened cocoa powder tops it off and adds a slight bitterness. Lastly, optional garnishes like chocolate shavings and ground cinnamon make it pretty. Each ingredient plays a part in making this treat special. Gather these items, and you’ll be ready to create a delicious pumpkin spice latte tiramisu! To start, brew strong coffee. Use a coffee maker or French press. Let it cool to room temperature. Then, mix in two tablespoons of pumpkin spice syrup. Stir well until combined. This mixture adds rich flavor to your tiramisu. Next, take a mixing bowl and add one cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer. Whip the cream on medium speed. Watch for soft peaks to form. Gradually add half a cup of powdered sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue to whip until you see stiff peaks. The cream should be light and fluffy. Now, take another bowl. Add one cup of mascarpone cheese. Gently blend in the whipped cream from before. Use a spatula for this step. Fold the mascarpone into the cream carefully. You want to keep the airiness of the whipped cream. Next, quickly dip ladyfinger cookies into the coffee mixture. Make sure they soak just enough to get moist. Arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of your dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Smooth it out gently. Sprinkle half of the pumpkin spice blend over the top. For the second layer, repeat the process. Use the remaining dipped ladyfingers and then the rest of the mascarpone mixture. Smooth it out for a neat finish. To finish, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder. Add a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for extra flavor. If you like, add chocolate shavings for a decorative touch. Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least four hours, or overnight for the best taste. Chilling time is very important for the best tiramisu. It helps the flavors blend and the layers firm up. I recommend chilling it for at least four hours or, better yet, overnight. This gives the coffee and cream time to mix into a rich treat. To avoid soggy ladyfingers, dip them quickly in the coffee mixture. Just a quick dip will make them moist without turning them mushy. You want them soft but still holding their shape. Serving your tiramisu in clear glasses makes for a stunning display. You can see the beautiful layers, which adds to the experience. Each guest can enjoy their own portion, making it feel special. For garnishing, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon adds a warm touch. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra flair. If you want to impress, chocolate shavings give a nice richness. If you want to change the sweetness, you can use alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or agave. These options can offer a different taste and reduce the sugar content. For a non-dairy version of mascarpone, consider using cashew cream or coconut cream. These alternatives keep the flavor rich while being dairy-free, making the tiramisu suitable for more diets. {{image_4}} You can change the spice mix to fit the season. Try adding nutmeg or cardamom. These spices can bring new notes to your dessert. You can also use flavored liqueurs for a fun twist. For example, a splash of coffee liqueur can enhance the coffee flavor. Or use pumpkin liqueur for extra pumpkin spice fun. If you need a gluten-free option, use gluten-free ladyfingers. They are easy to find in stores. For a dairy-free version, try using cashew cream instead of mascarpone. You can also use coconut cream for a rich texture. Both options work well and keep the dessert creamy. You can add layers of chocolate for a richer taste. Just sprinkle some chocolate chips or shavings between the layers. You might also want to swirl in some caramel. This adds a lovely sweetness. If you enjoy nuts, consider adding crushed walnuts or pecans. They add crunch and flavor, making your tiramisu unique. For best results, use an airtight container to chill your tiramisu. Glass or plastic containers work well. Make sure the lid seals tightly to keep air out. If you don't have a container, cover your dish with plastic wrap. Press it down gently to avoid air pockets. This keeps the dessert fresh and tasty. Your pumpkin spice latte tiramisu stays fresh in the fridge for about three days. After that, the flavors may fade. If you want to store it longer, you can freeze it. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. It can last up to two months in the freezer. When ready, thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving. You can make this tiramisu a day ahead. Just follow these steps: - Prepare the coffee mixture and mascarpone as usual. - Layer the dessert in your serving dish. - Cover it well with plastic wrap. - Chill it overnight in the fridge. This way, the flavors blend better, and it tastes great! Yes, you can use instant coffee. However, the taste may not be as rich. - Instant coffee lacks the depth of flavor found in brewed coffee. - If you choose instant, dissolve it in hot water first. - Aim for a strong brew to keep the coffee flavor bold. This tiramisu pairs well with many treats. Here are some ideas: - Whipped cream adds a light touch. - A scoop of vanilla ice cream brings creaminess. - Serve with spiced cookies for a crunchy contrast. - A warm cup of coffee or tea complements the flavors nicely. A runny tiramisu often happens due to a few common mistakes: - If the mascarpone cheese is not whipped well, it won't hold. - Over-soaking the ladyfingers can cause a soggy dessert. - Ensure to chill it enough time to set properly. To fix it, make sure to whip the cream to stiff peaks and soak the ladyfingers briefly. This blog post guided you through making delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte Tiramisu.

Ingredients
  

1 cup strong brewed coffee, at room temperature

2 tablespoons pumpkin spice syrup (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup mascarpone cheese

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend

Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Chocolate shavings (optional, for added richness)

Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled brewed coffee with the pumpkin spice syrup. Stir well to blend the flavors and set this mixture aside.

    In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to whip until the mixture reaches stiff peaks, ensuring it’s light and fluffy.

      In another bowl, gently blend the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

        Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture. Submerge them briefly, allowing them to soak just enough to become moist but not overly soggy. Arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of a rectangular serving dish.

          Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the first layer of ladyfingers. Smooth it out gently with a spatula for an even finish.

            Sprinkle half of the pumpkin spice blend over the mascarpone layer for a burst of flavor.

              For the second layer, repeat the process using the remaining dipped ladyfingers, followed by the rest of the mascarpone mixture, smoothing it out to create a cohesive dessert.

                Finish by dusting the top with cocoa powder and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. If desired, add chocolate shavings for a decorative touch.

                  Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly.
