Description
A luxurious no-bake twist on the classic tiramisu, this Pistachio Cream Tiramisu features layers of soft ladyfingers, rich pistachio-mascarpone cream, and a topping of crushed pistachios and white chocolate for an elegant, nutty dessert.
Ingredients
- 200 g savoiardi (ladyfingers) biscuits
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or light coffee, cooled
- 250 g mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
- 120 g pistachio paste or pistachio cream
- 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons finely ground pistachios (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate shavings (optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone, pistachio paste, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone-pistachio mixture until fully combined and airy.
- Pour the milk or coffee into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the liquid, one at a time, without soaking.
- Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 20×20 cm serving dish.
- Spread half of the pistachio cream over the ladyfingers in an even layer.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining pistachio cream. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, sprinkle with finely ground pistachios and optional white chocolate shavings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, replace the milk with pistachio milk or sweetened almond milk.
- Dip ladyfingers very briefly to avoid sogginess.
- Can be layered in individual dessert glasses for a more elegant serving style.
- Homemade pistachio paste is great if it’s smooth and lightly sweetened.
