Can I use pumpkin pie spice instead of pumpkin spice seasoning?

Absolutely! They're essentially the same blend of warm spices. Use the same amount called for in the recipe.

What if I can't find mascarpone?

Cream cheese works as a substitute, though the flavor will be tangier. Let it soften completely and beat it well to achieve a smooth texture.

How do I know if my ladyfingers are soaked enough?

They should feel moist and slightly soft but still hold their shape. If they fall apart when you lift them, you've gone too far.

Can I make this without alcohol?

Of course! Simply omit the liqueur and add an extra splash of strong coffee or even apple cider for autumn flavor.

Why isn't my cream whipping properly?

Make sure your cream, bowl, and beaters are all well-chilled. Warm temperatures prevent proper whipping.

Instructions

In a bowl, beat the heavy cream with a handheld mixer until stiff peaks develop.
In another bowl, use the mixer to blend mascarpone, powdered sugar, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin spice until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until fully combined.
In a small bowl, whisk the cooled espresso with the liqueur. Dip half of the ladyfingers into the liquid and line them in a single layer in the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish.
Spread half of the pumpkin mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
Repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and finish with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
Right before serving, dust pumpkin spice over the tiramisu. Slice neatly or scoop out portions and enjoy!

Notes

For best flavor, allow tiramisu to chill overnight. Can be made 1 day in advance.
