Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
1 package ladyfinger cookies
½ cup strong coffee or espresso
Cocoa powder for dusting

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of mascarpone cheese, 1 cup of heavy cream, ½ cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Soak the Ladyfingers:
In a shallow dish, pour the cooled coffee or espresso. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for just a second—make sure not to soak them, or they’ll become overly soggy.
Layer the Dessert:
In a rectangular dish or individual serving glasses, start layering the dessert. Begin with a layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by a generous amount of the pumpkin mixture. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with the pumpkin mixture on top.
Dust with Cocoa Powder:
Before serving, dust the top layer of pumpkin filling with cocoa powder. This adds a beautiful contrast and enhances the flavors.
Chill:
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully!
