Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Mascarpone cheese room temperature
  • 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 1 cup Pistachio cream or paste sweetened
  • 0.5 cup Powdered sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 24 Ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
  • 1.5 cups Strong brewed coffee or espresso cooled
  • 0.25 cup Chopped pistachios for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 8x8-inch baking dish
  • 1 Electric Mixer
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, combine the room-temperature mascarpone, pistachio cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pistachio-mascarpone mixture in two or three additions until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for about 1-2 seconds per side. Do not let them get soggy.
  5. Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread half of the pistachio cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  7. Repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining pistachio cream.
  8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set.
  9. Before serving, garnish generously with chopped pistachios. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Tip 1: For the best texture, ensure your mascarpone is at room temperature and your heavy cream is very cold.
Tip 2: The tiramisu tastes even better on day two, so don't be afraid to make it a day in advance.
Tip 3: If using unsweetened pistachio paste, you may need to add more powdered sugar to reach your desired sweetness.
