Ingredients

  • 1 package ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¾ cup strong coffee or espresso, cooled
  • Optional: cocoa powder or ground cinnamon, for dusting

Instructions

  2. In another bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, pumpkin purée, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  3. Gently fold whipped cream into the pumpkin mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
  4. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for 1–2 seconds and line the bottom of a serving dish with them.
  5. Spread half of the pumpkin cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
  6. Repeat layers with remaining dipped ladyfingers and pumpkin cream mixture.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Notes

  • Add a layer of crushed gingersnaps or graham crackers for added crunch.
  • Mix espresso powder into the pumpkin mixture for a stronger coffee flavor.
  • Serve in individual glasses or jars for a fun presentation.
  • Dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid sogginess.
  • Best made a day ahead to allow flavors to meld.
