- 1 cup mascarpone cheese - 1 cup heavy whipped cream - 1/2 cup pumpkin puree - 1/2 cup powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger - 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled - 12 to 15 ladyfinger cookies - Cocoa powder for dusting - Crushed graham crackers (optional, for garnish) Mascarpone cheese gives the dessert a rich and creamy texture. Its smoothness is perfect for blending with pumpkin. Pumpkin puree adds flavor and color. It brings a warm, cozy taste. The heavy cream makes the mixture light and fluffy. It makes each bite feel special. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger bring warmth. They remind us of fall and holiday treats. The coffee gives depth. It pairs well with the sweet layers. Ladyfingers are essential; they soak up the coffee and add structure. If you can’t find mascarpone, cream cheese works well. Just make sure to soften it first. Heavy cream can be replaced with whipped topping for a lighter feel. For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream. Instead of ladyfingers, try sponge cake or even cookies. If you want less sugar, use a sugar substitute. You can also skip the cocoa powder for a lighter look. Crushed graham crackers add crunch, but they’re optional. Start by mixing the mascarpone cheese and pumpkin puree in a bowl. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Use a whisk and blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This pumpkin mixture should be creamy and flavorful. In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Use a mixer to whip it until you see stiff peaks. This means the cream will hold its shape well. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture. Mix carefully to keep the light texture. Prepare your coffee in a shallow bowl and let it cool. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee quickly. Make sure they soak but do not get soggy. In serving cups, layer the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom. Next, add a layer of the pumpkin mascarpone mixture on top. Repeat these layers until the cups are full, finishing with the pumpkin mixture. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and place them in the fridge. Let them chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best. This time helps the flavors blend and the dessert to set. Just before you serve, dust the tops with cocoa powder and add crushed graham crackers for extra flair. To create a stunning dessert, layering is key. Start with a layer of ladyfingers. Dip each ladyfinger in coffee quickly. You want them moist but not soggy. Place them at the bottom of your serving cups. Next, add a generous layer of the pumpkin mascarpone mix. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Repeat the process until you fill the cups. Always finish with the pumpkin mixture on top. This makes for a beautiful presentation. Whipping cream can be tricky. Start with cold heavy cream. Use a chilled bowl to help it whip faster. Beat the cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form. This means the cream holds its shape well. Gently fold in the whipped cream into the pumpkin mix. Take your time, and be gentle. You want a light, airy texture. This makes the dessert feel rich without being too heavy. Presentation matters for any dessert. Dust the tops with cocoa powder for a nice touch. Add crushed graham crackers on top for crunch. For a fun twist, place a small pumpkin-shaped chocolate on each cup. This adds a festive feel. You can also sprinkle a bit of cinnamon for color. Serve these cups chilled, and watch your guests smile! {{image_2}} You can switch up flavors in your No Bake Pumpkin Tiramisu Cups. For a chocolate twist, add cocoa powder to the mascarpone mix. This gives a rich taste. You can also use vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract for a fresher flavor. If you want a fruit flavor, try adding a layer of fruit puree, like raspberry or strawberry. The tartness will balance the sweetness. To make this dessert lighter, use low-fat mascarpone cheese. You can swap heavy cream for coconut cream. It still whips well and adds a nice flavor. Instead of powdered sugar, try using a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. This makes it a bit healthier without losing taste. You can adjust your No Bake Pumpkin Tiramisu Cups for different seasons. In spring, try using lemon zest and juice for a fresh taste. In summer, swap pumpkin for fresh berries or peaches. For winter, use peppermint extract in place of vanilla. This gives a festive, holiday vibe. Each season brings a new twist to this classic dessert! To keep your No Bake Pumpkin Tiramisu Cups fresh, cover them well. Use plastic wrap or a lid for each cup. This helps prevent them from drying out. Store the cups in the refrigerator. Make sure they are on a flat shelf. Avoid placing them near strong-smelling foods, as they can absorb odors. When stored properly, these tiramisu cups last up to four days in the fridge. After that, the flavors may fade. The texture is best within the first two days. Enjoy them sooner for the best taste and creaminess. You can freeze the tiramisu cups if you want to keep them longer. However, I recommend freezing them before adding cocoa powder or graham crackers. To freeze, cover each cup tightly and place them in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat, thaw them overnight in the fridge. Avoid microwaving them, as that can change the texture. Always add cocoa powder and garnishes just before serving for the best look and taste. Yes, you can try cream cheese. It will change the taste a bit. Make sure to blend it well to keep the texture smooth. You can also mix half mascarpone and half cream cheese for a nice balance. To make it festive, add fun toppings. Use whipped cream, sprinkles, or even candy corn. You can also place a small pumpkin-shaped chocolate on top for a cute look. A dusting of cinnamon adds warmth and a nice aroma. Absolutely! This dessert tastes even better after chilling. Make it one or two days in advance. Just cover the cups with plastic wrap. Let it set in the fridge until you are ready to serve. If you can’t find ladyfingers, use sponge cake or pound cake. You can even use graham crackers for a different texture. Just dip them in coffee like you would with ladyfingers. This will still give you that lovely layered effect. This article covered how to make No Bake Pumpkin Tiramisu Cups.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Whip until smooth and well blended.
