Tiramisu is a traditional Italian dessert made with sweetened mascarpone cream, crisp ladyfinger cookies (known as savoriardi) soaked in espresso (and usually rum or brandy) and then dusted with cocoa powder. This basic tiramisu recipe is a blueprint for many different flavor combinations, including my delightful Limoncello Tiramisu. This classic dessert gets an autumn twist with a creamy pumpkin mascarpone mousse, which paired with the coffee soaked ladyfingers is reminsescent of a pumpkin spice latte (For more delicious pumpkin desserts take a look at my Bourbon Pumpkin Pie, Creamy Pumpkin Pie Dip and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread).

How to Make Pumpkin Tiramisu
This pumpkin tiramisu is a delicious no bake dessert that you can make ahead of time. In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves (alternatively you can replace these spices with 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice) and salt. Add in the softened mascarpone cheese and heavy cream then using a hand mixer beat everything together until the mixture forms soft peaks.
Add the cooled coffee, sugar and bourbon ( if using) to a medium bowl and stif until the sugar has disolved.Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and arrange in a single layer into a 9×9 dish. Spread half of the pumpkin cream onto the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and the remaining pumpkin cream. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Dust with cocoa powder or shaved chocolate and serve as desired.
Optional whipped cream topping – In a large bowl beat together heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar into stiff peaks. You can spread whipped cream in an even layer over the tiramisu or use a large round piping tip to pipe dollops of whipped cream on top of the tiramisu as I did.
