Ingredients
For the Tiramisu Filling:
- 400 g (1 ¾ cups) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 175 g (¾ cup) heavy whipping cream (35% fat)
- 85 g (¾ cup) powdered sugar
- 175 g (½ cup) pistachio spread
For Assembly:
- 300 ml (1 ¼ cups) brewed coffee
- 20 ladyfingers
For Layering & Decoration:
- 100 g (⅓ cup) pistachio spread, for the inner layer
- 60 g (½ cup) crushed pistachios
- 150 g (½ cup) pistachio spread, for the top covering
Instructions
Prepare the Coffee Base:
- Begin by brewing strong coffee using your preferred method. Once ready, transfer it to a wide, shallow bowl to cool completely.
Create the Pistachio Mascarpone Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the room-temperature mascarpone cheese with the pistachio spread. Use a spatula in a folding motion until you achieve a smooth, homogenous mixture with no streaks.
- In a separate, completely clean and dry bowl, pour in the cold heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the cream until it thickens and soft peaks form. The cream should hold its shape but still have a slight curl at the peak.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone-pistachio mixture in two batches.
- Use a light hand and a folding motion to maintain the airy texture. Set the completed filling aside.
Assemble the Layers:
- Have your springform pan ready. Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for 1-2 seconds per side. You want them moistened but not soggy.
- Arrange a single layer of the coffee-soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of the pan.
- Spread half of the pistachio mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Add a layer of pistachio spread and spread it. Sprinkle a generous amount of crushed pistachios over this layer.
- Another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream
Set and Serve:
- Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up for perfect slicing.
- Just before serving, melt some pistachio spread and add it on top, make sure to spread it all over the top, remove it from the springform pan ring and serve.
