For the Pumpkin Mascarpone Cream

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
For the Ladyfingers
  • 1 ½ cups strong brewed espresso or coffee cooled
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or sugar
  • 24 –28 ladyfingers savoiardi
For Topping
  • Cocoa powder unsweetened
  • Extra cinnamon or pumpkin spice
  • Optional: crushed gingersnaps for crunch

  • 9×9-inch baking dish or trifle dish
  • Whisk
  • Sifter (optional for cocoa dusting)

Method
 

Prepare the Mascarpone Cream
  1. Beat mascarpone with pumpkin purée until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin spice. Mix until creamy.
  2. In another bowl, whip heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone pumpkin mixture until fully combined.
Make the Coffee Dip
  1. Mix cooled espresso with maple syrup (or sugar). Do not dip ladyfingers while coffee is hot—they’ll fall apart.
Layer the Ladyfingers
  1. Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the coffee. Arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of your dish. Do not oversoak—each dip should be 1–2 seconds.
Spread Pumpkin Cream Layer
  1. Spread half of the pumpkin mascarpone cream over the soaked ladyfingers. Smooth gently with a spatula.
Repeat Layers
  1. Add a second layer of dipped ladyfingers. Top with the remaining pumpkin cream.
Chill
  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows flavors to deepen and layers to set beautifully.
Dust and Serve
  1. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and a pinch of cinnamon. Add crushed gingersnaps on top for extra spice and crunch.
