Pumpkin Tiramisu – A No-Bake Dessert For You
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and pumpkin recipes are on my mind. Besides the traditional pie, I wanted to venture out and try something different.
With the help of three recipes that resonated with me, here is what I came up with.
We all love tiramisu; what is there not to love? Sweet, easy to prepare, and always welcome to our table,
Here is a more accessible version, no eggs, and in just 20 minutes, you have a no-bake great pumpkin dessert for your family and friends.
What is Tiramisu?
The classic Tiramisu recipe is a coffee-flavored Italian dessert. Ladyfingers are delicate cookies dipped in espresso or robust coffee, layers with a whipped mixture of mascarpone, eggs, and sugar.
Translate “Tiramisu” means “pick me up.” In Italy, in mid to late afternoon, due to the late dinner, children are given a small dessert to carry to dinner without compromising their dinner appetite.
Thus the name tiramisu.
What Coffee to use?
One of the critical ingredients is coffee. A vibrant and strong coffee is what works best for the savoiardi cookies.
I only drink espresso by Lavazza prepared in my Bialetti Espresso Maker. My favorite. Rich and full of body. I do not expect you to go out and buy one. Therefore, make your favorite coffee very strong for this recipe.
Nescafe granules can be used in this recipe. Do make the coffee strong by limiting the amount of water.
What is Pumpkin pie spice made of?
A wonderful aromatic blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
You can buy this blend at the store already made for you. Or, as I have it here, you can make your own. I always choose the ladder.
At the beginning of every season, I make a fresh batch of pumpkin pie spice for all my fall baking. Easy to have on hand when needed.
And because it is where I can reach it faster, I use it more often in all my fall desserts.
The best thing is that it makes almost 2.5 tablespoons of great spice that you can store in a glass jar and use anytime during the holidays. The perfect balance between cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove.
What is the difference between pumpkin spice and pumpkin pie spice?
This is a very often asked question. Neither of them contains pumpkin. It is, however, the blend of spices usually found in pumpkin pie recipes.
You can find it at the store or make your own.
Here are a few helpful tips and how to make this Pumpkin Tiramisu dish to perfection.
- Savoiardi: only buy Italian. They are the best. The link is below for the one I recommend and only use.
- If making your Pumpkin Spice as per my instructions below, make sure you pass it through a small sieve to remove any chunks that may have formed.
- Buy a small can of pumpkin puree if you do not plan to use it all. Most noteworthy, pumpkin puree will not store in the refrigerator for more than a few days.
- When working with the heavy cream, mascarpone, and pumpkin puree in your mixer, start at a low setting. The liquid will splatter all around you. Increase as you go.
- Stiff whipped cream. Do not over-whip.
Substitutes and suggestions
- The white chocolate shaving adds another fun touch to this pumpkin tiramisu recipe. Optional if you do not have it on hand.
- You can add to the coffee Amaretto di Saronno to give it a more Italian flair or rum for a Caribbean twist that I leave up to you.
- I have replaced the turbinado sugar with white sugar, and it works great, too, so there is no need for a memorable trip to the store if you forget them or have none on hand.
Serve it in small glasses for a dramatic presentation, ramekins, or a rectangular dish.
Your new Pumpkin Tiramisu will be a hit with everyone and any time of the year.

Lavazza is my favourite coffee, too, and I can have lots of espressi every day, even better paired with another Italian delight. I just had a tiramisu made for me at the weekend (how I love being spoiled!), but now I want another one with autumn flavours! Beautiful!!

Enjoy!

This looks delicious! And you have me rethinking my espresso maker! I’m going to check out that cute Bialetti now. I didn’t realize espresso could be made stove top, it has a lovely nostalgic look to it.
I would not have it any other way. My family laughs at me as I take my small espresso maker on the road when we travel. The best coffee in my book.
Enjoy!
