Pumpkin Tiramisu With Mascarpone Cream

Recipe by lounarecipes

From the Blog Author

This Pumpkin Tiramisu With Mascarpone Cream is one of my favorite fall desserts because it feels like a cozy hug that’s just a few minutes away. The first time I layered the sweet pumpkin puree with silky mascarpone and a touch of espresso, the kitchen filled with that comforting, spiced aroma that instantly put my family at ease. What I love most is how the pumpkin’s natural sweetness balances the buttery espresso-soaked ladyfingers, while the mascarpone cream adds a velvety richness that coats your tongue. The dusting of cocoa on top provides a subtle, bittersweet finish that feels like autumn in a bite. It’s quick, too—each step is simple, and the only thing that feels like an adventure is choosing the perfect pumpkin puree to bring out that pumpkin’s heartiness. A little tip from my experience: let the tiramisu chill for at least three hours, or even overnight if you have the time. The flavors marry beautifully, and the layers set just right, so you’re not rushing to serve a dessert that’s still too loose. Try this at home and let me know how it went—I’d love to hear what you think. Feel free to drop me a quick note and share your tweaks or the moment that made you smile while you were baking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance can I prepare this Pumpkin Tiramisu with Mascarpone Cream?

This recipe benefits greatly from chilling, so you can prepare it up to 24 hours ahead of serving. Allowing it to set for at least 4 hours, as specified in the recipe, ensures the ladyfingers fully absorb the flavors and the mascarpone cream firms up perfectly.

Can I substitute the canned pumpkin puree in this recipe?

While the recipe calls for 250 grams of pumpkin puree, you can use homemade roasted pumpkin puree if you prefer. Ensure your homemade puree is very thick and well-drained, as excess moisture can thin out the mascarpone cream.

What is the best way to store leftovers of this pumpkin tiramisu?

Store any leftover Pumpkin Tiramisu tightly covered in the refrigerator. Because it contains fresh dairy (mascarpone and heavy cream), it should be consumed within 3 to 4 days for the best quality and food safety.
