Inspired by a pumpkin spice latte, this pumpkin tiramisu is ultra creamy, layered with coffee soaked ladyfingers, and packed full of pumpkin spice flavor! It’s the perfect no bake festive fall dessert. The filling has egg yolks for a traditional tiramisu flavor and texture, but they’re cooked so this tiramisu is also elderly and pregnancy friendly. This tiramisu is great to make ahead because it tastes even better the next day. This is the best pumpkin tiramisu for any fall and Thanksgiving celebration.
The serving dish I used is 9” by 6.5” by 3”, but anything similarly sized will do!
Filling
Assembly
Filling
Add egg yolks, egg, and sugar into a heat-safe bowl. Whisk together to combine.
large yolks
large egg
cup granulated sugar
Place the bowl on top of a saucepan filled with simmering water on the stove. The bowl should not touch the water. Whisk the egg mixture and cook until thickened and hot to the touch. This will take around 10 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk the cream to stiff peaks. Set aside in the fridge for later.
cup heavy cream
Mash the mascarpone cheese in a separate bowl until smooth. Add the cooked and cooled eggs into the mascarpone cheese and whisk by hand until smooth. Don’t overwhisk or it will become liquidy and won’t set.
lb mascarpone cheese
Add artisan pumpkin spice flavor and pumpkin puree, whisk to combine.
tbsp pumpkin spice flavor
cup pumpkin puree
Fold the whipped cream into the mixture until fully combined.
Assembly
Combine espresso, sugar, and artisan pumpkin spice flavor in a wide, shallow bowl and stir to dissolve.
cup strong coffee or espresso
tbsp granulated sugar
tsp pumpkin spice flavor
One by one, dip ladyfingers into the coffee mixture and lay a single layer into the serving dish. Add half of the filling on top and spread it all the way to the edges. Repeat with more ladyfingers and top with the rest of the filling. Smooth the top well. Chill the tiramisu for at least 8 hours or overnight to set.

Before serving, cut out mini pumpkins from parchment paper and place them right on the surface. Sprinkle the top liberally with cocoa powder and a bit of pumpkin spice seasoning! Use a toothpick to help carefully remove the pumpkin cut outs to reveal orange pumpkins underneath. Scoop or slice and serve.
