A delightful twist on the classic tiramisu, this dessert features creamy layers of pistachio cream interlaced with coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creating a luxurious experience with nutty decadence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups shelled pistachios (unsalted)
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee (or espresso)
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • 1 package (7 oz) ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Finely chopped pistachios, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pistachio paste by grinding shelled pistachios in a food processor and adding water until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, combine mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pistachio paste until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar, then add corn starch. Fold this into the mascarpone mixture.
  4. Mix brewed coffee, coffee liqueur, and sugar in a shallow dish.
  5. Dip ladyfingers in the coffee mixture and layer in a baking dish, then add half of the pistachio cream filling. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and the rest of the cream filling.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  7. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with chopped pistachios before serving.

Notes

Ensure not to over-soak the ladyfingers to avoid a soggy dessert. This dessert is best made a day in advance.
