Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp pistachio paste (or ground pistachios + 1 tsp honey)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 18–20 ladyfinger biscuits
- ¾ cup strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
- 1 tbsp pistachio liqueur or amaretto (optional)
- ½ cup finely chopped pistachios
- White chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- MAKE THE PISTACHIO CREAM: In a bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone, pistachio paste, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold the whipped cream gently into the mascarpone mixture until silky.
- SOAK THE LADYFINGERS: Combine espresso and liqueur (if using). Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee — don’t soak too long or they’ll fall apart.
- ASSEMBLE THE TIRAMISU: Layer soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a dish or individual cups. Spread half of the pistachio cream on top. Add another layer of ladyfingers and finish with the remaining cream.
- CHILL & DECORATE: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and white chocolate curls.
Notes
- Make it gluten-free using GF ladyfingers.
- Add a layer of Nutella between the cream for a decadent twist.
- For a vibrant color, mix a drop of green food coloring into the cream.
