Description
A creamy, no-bake pistachio tiramisu layered with coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a light pistachio mascarpone filling, finished with crunchy pistachios.
Ingredients
1 cup hot water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons pistachio liqueur (optional)
24 to 30 Savoiardi ladyfinger biscuits
16 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 cup pistachio cream or pistachio paste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Whisk together hot water, granulated sugar, and pistachio liqueur in a shallow bowl until sugar dissolves. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, pistachio cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pistachio mascarpone mixture until light and fluffy.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled soaking mixture without over-soaking.
- Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8-inch square dish.
- Spread half of the pistachio mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and finish with remaining filling.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until set.
- Before serving, sprinkle with chopped pistachios, slice, and serve cold.
