Description
Creamy Pistachio Tiramisu is a dreamy no-bake dessert that combines layers of espresso-dipped ladyfingers with a luscious pistachio mascarpone cream, topped with crushed pistachios and a dusting of cocoa powder.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225 g) Mascarpone Cheese: The heart of the cream layer, rich and velvety.
- 1 cup (240 ml) Heavy Whipping Cream: Adds lightness and volume.
- 1/3 cup (40 g) Powdered Sugar: Gently sweetens without grittiness.
- 1/2 cup (120 g) Pistachio Paste: Brings the nutty flavor center stage.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and rounds out the sweetness.
- 1 cup (240 ml) Espresso or Strong Coffee: Soaks the ladyfingers and balances sweetness.
- 24 Ladyfinger Biscuits (Savoiardi): Provide the structure and sponge.
- 1/4 cup (30 g) Crushed Pistachios: For topping and texture.
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Finishing touch that ties it back to tradition.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: No oven needed! Just grab your mixing bowls and chill your beaters if possible.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, beat heavy cream to soft peaks. In another, mix mascarpone, powdered sugar, pistachio paste, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream gently.
