Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 40 pieces ladyfingers (Savoiardi), crisp
  • 2 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee cooled
  • 0.25 cup pistachio liqueur or amaretto optional but recommended
  • 16 ounce mascarpone cheese softened
  • 2 cup heavy cream cold
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup pistachio paste unsweetened if possible
  • 0.75 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped divided
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
  • 0.33 cup dark chocolate shavings optional garnish
  • 0.125 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Make the soak: In a shallow dish, stir cooled espresso with pistachio liqueur. Set aside.
  • Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt to soft-medium peaks.
  • Make pistachio mascarpone: In a separate bowl, whisk mascarpone until smooth. Mix in pistachio paste, then gently fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain. Fold in 0.5 cup of the chopped pistachios.
  • First layer: Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the espresso mixture for about 1 second per side, then line the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish in a snug single layer.
  • Spread half of the pistachio mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, smoothing to the edges.
  • Second layer: Repeat with another dipped ladyfinger layer and the remaining pistachio cream. Smooth the top.
  • Finish: Sift cocoa powder evenly over the top. Sprinkle with remaining chopped pistachios and chocolate shavings.
  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight best) to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a kid-friendly version, replace the liqueur with an equal amount of milk or pistachio syrup. Use very quick dips to keep ladyfingers from getting soggy. Tiramisu keeps well, covered and refrigerated, for up to 3 days. For cleaner slices, freeze for 20 minutes before cutting.
