Pistachio Tiramisu Recipe

5 from 710 reviews

A luscious Pistachio Tiramisu that reimagines the classic Italian dessert by incorporating rich pistachio paste into the creamy mascarpone layer, paired with espresso-soaked ladyfingers for a nutty and indulgent treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pistachio Cream

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup pistachio paste

For the Base

  • 20 ladyfingers
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pistachio Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and pistachio paste until smooth and creamy, ensuring the paste is fully incorporated for a consistent flavor throughout the cream.
  2. Soak the Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled strong coffee, ensuring they are moist but not soggy, then layer them evenly in your serving dish.
  3. Assemble the Tiramisu: Spread a generous layer of the pistachio mascarpone cream over the coffee-soaked ladyfingers, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
  4. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining pistachio cream, finishing with the cream on top to ensure a beautiful presentation.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Cover the assembled tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.

Notes

  • For enhanced flavor, use freshly brewed espresso instead of regular coffee.
  • Pistachio paste can be found in specialty stores or made at home by blending shelled pistachios until smooth.
  • Optional garnish: chopped pistachios or a dusting of cocoa powder on top before serving.
  • Serve chilled for the best texture and taste.
