Description
A no-bake, elegant twist on classic tiramisu, this Pistachio Tiramisu layers espresso-soaked ladyfingers with a creamy pistachio mascarpone filling and is topped with white chocolate and roasted pistachios. Perfect for holidays or dinner parties.
Ingredients
250g mascarpone cheese
3 tbsp pistachio paste (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
200ml double cream
3 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
200g ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
150ml espresso or very strong coffee, cooled
1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
50g white chocolate, finely grated or shaved
2 tbsp chopped roasted pistachios
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix mascarpone, pistachio paste, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pistachio mascarpone mixture until well combined.
- In a shallow dish, combine the cooled espresso with the coffee liqueur (if using).
- Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the espresso mixture, ensuring they soak only the outer layer.
- Layer the bottom of a serving dish with the dipped ladyfingers.
- Spread half of the pistachio cream evenly over the biscuits.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining pistachio cream.
- Smooth the top and sprinkle with grated white chocolate and chopped roasted pistachios.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
Use unsweetened or lightly sweetened pistachio paste for best flavor control.
Can be made alcohol-free by omitting the coffee liqueur.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, covered tightly.
Gluten-free ladyfingers can be used for a gluten-free version.
Best served after chilling overnight to allow flavors to meld.
