Description
A delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, this Pistachio Tiramisu combines creamy mascarpone with nutty pistachios and coffee-soaked sponge fingers, offering a unique and indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- 250g mascarpone
- 3 tbsp icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp pistachio cream (plus extra for drizzling)
- 300ml double cream
- 1 pack sponge fingers (around 200g)
- 200ml strong coffee, cooled
- Handful of crushed pistachios (for topping)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and pistachio cream. Mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
- Dip each sponge finger briefly into the cooled coffee and layer them in the base of your serving dish.
- Spread half of the pistachio mascarpone cream over the sponge fingers.
- Repeat with another layer of coffee-soaked sponge fingers and the remaining cream mixture.
- Drizzle with extra pistachio cream and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the coffee is cooled before dipping the sponge fingers to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
- You can make this a day ahead – it tastes even better after resting overnight.
- Use high-quality pistachio cream for the best flavor.
