Pumpkin Amaretti Tiramisu

For your Shopping Cart:

A fall version of the classic Italian dessert. We substitute chocolate and espresso with layers of amaretto-soaked ladyfingers, crumbled amaretti cookies and rich pumpkin-mascarpone filling. Put a little of the season into your after-dinner delights.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 (8-ounce) container mascarpone cheese
• 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 cup amaretto
• About 25 DeLallo Savoiardi Ladyfingers
• 6 ounces amaretti cookies, crumbled

Directions:

Beat cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Combine with mascarpone, pumpkin and spices and beat until smooth.

In a small, shallow dish, pour amaretto. Dip each ladyfinger before arranging along the bottom of a 13- by 9-inch baking dish, overlapping to fit. Spread one-third of filling atop ladyfingers, evenly sprinkle with one-third amaretti cookies and repeat for two more layers.

Smooth top of dessert and wrap tightly in plastic and foil. Refrigerate. Best when chilled overnight.
