Description

Elevate your dessert game with this luxurious Pistachio Tiramisu—a unique twist on the Italian classic. Layers of espresso-dipped ladyfingers and rich pistachio mascarpone cream create a heavenly treat, topped with roasted pistachios and optional white chocolate shavings. Perfect for lovers of pistachio desserts, Italian tiramisu variations, and elegant no-bake recipes.


Ingredients

  • 24 ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi)

  • 1 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled

  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)

  • 1 cup pistachio paste (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)

  • 16 oz mascarpone cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

  • 1/3 cup chopped roasted pistachios (for topping)

  • White chocolate shavings (optional)


Instructions

  • Prepare the coffee mixture: In a shallow dish, combine espresso and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.

  • Make the pistachio cream filling: In a bowl, beat mascarpone, pistachio paste, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into pistachio mascarpone mixture.

  • Layer the tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into espresso mixture and place a layer in a 9×9-inch dish. Spread half of the pistachio cream over the cookies. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers and cream. Smooth the top.

  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set.

  • Garnish and serve: Before serving, top with chopped pistachios and white chocolate shavings if desired.


Notes

  • Use sweetened pistachio paste for a dessert with a more pronounced sweetness.

  • Tiramisu improves in flavor and texture after a night in the fridge.

  • Serve chilled for best taste and consistency.
