Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 250g Mascarpone Cheese
  • 100g Unsalted Shelled Pistachios
  • 30 Ladyfinger Biscuits
  • 1 cup Strong Espresso Coffee (cooled)
  • 100g Sugar
  • 4 Egg Yolks
  • 200ml Heavy Cream
  • 2 tbsp Pistachio Paste or Nut Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Dark Chocolate Shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pistachio Cream: Blend the pistachios into a fine paste. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until creamy. Slowly fold in the mascarpone cheese, pistachio paste, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and rich.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, creating a light and airy texture.
  3. Brew and Cool Espresso: Prepare a strong espresso and allow it to cool completely to room temperature. This cooled espresso will be used to soak the ladyfingers.
  4. Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the cooled espresso, ensuring they absorb some liquid but do not become soggy. Layer the soaked ladyfingers evenly in your serving dish. Spread half of the pistachio cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining pistachio cream on top.
  5. Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, garnish with chopped pistachios and optional dark chocolate shavings for an elegant and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh, unsalted pistachios to maximize flavor and texture.
  • Briefly dip ladyfingers in espresso to avoid sogginess while keeping them flavorful.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to maintain a light and airy filling.
  • Chill the tiramisu overnight for best flavor and consistency.
  • Use very fresh eggs or pasteurized eggs for safety, or substitute with egg-free mascarpone alternatives if desired.
