  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Pistachio Cream:
    • 1 cup shelled pistachios (unsalted)
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Coffee Mixture:
    • 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
    • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • For Assembly:
    • 24 ladyfinger cookies
    • Additional crushed pistachios (for garnish)
    • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pistachio Cream: In a food processor, blend the shelled pistachios and powdered sugar until finely ground. Add the mascarpone cheese and blend until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pistachio mixture until well combined.
  2. Mix the Coffee: In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
  3. Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Spread half of the pistachio cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with the remaining pistachio cream.
  4. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  5. Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with crushed pistachios for garnish. Slice into squares and enjoy your delicious Pistachio Tiramisu!

Notes

  • Additional Tips: For a more intense pistachio flavor, you can use pistachio paste instead of ground pistachios. Adjust the sugar accordingly.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make-Ahead: This dessert is perfect for making ahead of time, as the flavors meld beautifully when chilled overnight.
