Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or hand whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • 8x8-inch dish or trifle bowl
  • shallow dish for dipping
  • Refrigerator

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
  • 1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur or rum (optional)
  • 24–30 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • Cocoa powder or cinnamon, for dusting
  • Whipped cream (optional topping)
  • Crushed gingersnaps (optional topping)
  • Chocolate curls (optional topping)
  • Maple syrup drizzle (optional topping)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat mascarpone cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
  • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mascarpone mixture until light and fluffy.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the espresso and coffee liqueur. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mixture, making sure not to soak them too long or they will become soggy.
  • In an 8x8-inch dish or trifle bowl, place a layer of soaked ladyfingers on the bottom. Spread half of the pumpkin cream mixture evenly over the top. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and the remaining pumpkin cream. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results. The longer it chills, the more flavorful and creamy it becomes.
  • Dust with cocoa powder or cinnamon just before serving. Add whipped cream, crushed gingersnaps, or chocolate shavings for a festive touch.

Notes

Use cold, strong coffee to avoid soggy layers. Don’t over-soak the ladyfingers. Chill overnight for the most flavorful and cohesive texture. Dust with cocoa or cinnamon just before serving and top with whipped cream or maple drizzle for added flair.
