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.
