Ingredients
Scale
Pistachio Cream Mixture
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) cold heavy cream
- 1 cup (240 g) mascarpone cheese
- ¾ cup (180 g) pistachio cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Espresso Soaking Liquid
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) strong espresso, cooled
- 2 tbsp pistachio liqueur or Amaretto (optional)
Assembly
- 30–36 ladyfingers
- ½ cup (60 g) chopped pistachios
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
- Whip Cream: Whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, ensuring it is light and airy for folding into the mascarpone mixture.
- Prepare Pistachio Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, pistachio cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Fold Cream Into Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone-pistachio mixture to create a fluffy and creamy filling, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Prepare Espresso Soak: Combine the cooled espresso with pistachio liqueur or Amaretto if using, mixing well to enhance flavor.
- Dip Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
- First Layer: Arrange a full layer of the dipped ladyfingers evenly in your serving dish.
- Spread Pistachio Cream: Evenly spread half of the pistachio cream mixture over the ladyfingers layer.
- Second Layer: Repeat by dipping and layering the remaining ladyfingers on top of the cream layer.
- Top with Remaining Cream: Spread the remaining pistachio cream mixture over the second layer of ladyfingers.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the tiramisu with chopped pistachios and dust with cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
Notes
- This pistachio cream tiramisu can be served in individual glasses for stylish presentations.
- Swirling a little pistachio cream on top before serving adds an extra nutty burst.
- For a boozy version, add more pistachio liqueur or Amaretto to taste.
- Ensure ladyfingers are dipped briefly to prevent sogginess.
