Spiced Pumpkin Tiramisu Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine water, coffee, sugar and liqueur; cook and stir over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a shallow bowl; cool completely., In a large bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, pumpkin, 3 tablespoons sugar and spices just until blended. In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add remaining sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Fold into mascarpone mixture., Quickly dip 18 ladyfingers into coffee mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Arrange in a single layer in a 13x9-in. dish. Spread with 1-2/3 cups cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice., Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over top. Refrigerate, covered, at least 8 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, turmeric, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, black pepper and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl. Toast 1 1/2 tablespoons of the spice mixture in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the milk, whisking to combine until smooth. Gradually drizzle in the remaining milk, whisking continuously to avoid any lumps, and bring to a simmer, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar and salt in a large saucepan, then slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup of the milk mixture while whisking continuously. (You don't want to scramble the eggs!) Turn the heat on medium and cook for a few minutes, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat, then pour the mixture into a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it up against the surface of the custard, and let cool in the fridge for about 1 hour.
• Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and the vanilla to stiff peaks in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, then set aside.
• Fold the mascarpone into the cooled custard.
• Working one at a time, quickly soak the ladyfingers in the remaining golden spiced mixture and use them to line the bottom of an 8-inch square pan, breaking them up if necessary. (Soak them for about 2 seconds; don't soak them too long, otherwise they'll fall apart.) Add half of the custard, spreading it out evenly with an offset spatula, followed by a layer of the whipped cream. Repeat! Using a sifter or a fine-mesh sieve, dust the top with some of the remaining spice mixture and allow to set for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

Steps:

• For the pie filling: Bring some water to a boil in a saucepan, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Find a heatproof mixing bowl that will fit over the top of the pan, but not sink it all the way in. (Do-it-yourself double boiler!)
• Put the egg yolks in the mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and whisk until the yolks start to turn pale. Place the mixing bowl on top of the saucepan with the simmering water. Slowly add the bourbon and whisk to combine. Cook over the simmering water, using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl, until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Place the mascarpone cheese and pumpkin puree in a bowl and stir until smooth. Combine the whipping cream, brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a separate mixing bowl and whip until not quite stiff. Add the mascarpone and pumpkin mixture to the whipped cream mixture, followed by the chilled egg mixture. Fold gently until mixed well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• For the pumpkin pie espresso syrup: Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly add the instant espresso, then stir until dissolved. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• To assemble: Arrange the ladyfingers in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch pan, breaking as necessary to fit. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the espresso syrup over each ladyfinger. Plop a third of the chilled mascarpone/pumpkin mixture on top and spread it into a thin layer. Grate over a thin layer of chocolate and sprinkle over 1/2 cup of the crushed gingersnaps.
• Repeat the process 2 more times, finishing with the crushed gingersnaps. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or up to overnight before serving. This will allow for more moisture to soften the cookies and for the whole mixture to meld together. The tiramisu is best consumed within 24 to 36 hours after assembling, as the components will begin to break down and become soupy.

Steps:

• Beat whipping cream and sugar until peaks form. Add mascarpone cheese, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice; beat just until filling is smooth.
• Line bottom of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides with 1 package ladyfingers, overlapping and crowding to fit. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons rum. Spread half of filling over ladyfingers.
• Repeat with second package ladyfingers, remaining 2 tablespoons rum, and remaining filling. Smooth. Wrap tightly in plastic, then foil. Chill overnight.
• To unmold, run knife around inside edge of pan. Release pan sides; sprinkle with amaretti cookies.
