Pistachio Tiramisu is a refined, nutty take on the classic Italian dessert—featuring layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and pistachio-mascarpone cream, topped with chopped pistachios for added texture. It’s creamy, rich, and makes an impressive make-ahead dessert.

Ingredients

  • 24 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • 2 tbsp amaretto or pistachio liqueur (optional)
  • 1 cup pistachio cream or sweet pistachio paste
  • 250g (1 cup) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup granulated or caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • Chopped or toasted pistachios for topping
  • Optional: cocoa powder or additional pistachio cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine brewed coffee with liqueur (if using). Set aside to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whip cold heavy cream with sugar to soft-medium peaks. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine mascarpone, pistachio cream, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold whipped cream into the pistachio-mascarpone mixture until well combined and airy.
  5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture (1–2 seconds per side). Arrange a layer in the bottom of a square or rectangular dish (~8×8 inches).
  6. Spread half of the pistachio cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Smooth the top.
  7. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining pistachio cream.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, top with chopped pistachios, a dusting of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of pistachio cream as desired.

Notes

Use sweet pistachio spread, not unsweetened pistachio paste or pesto.Dip ladyfingers briefly to avoid soggy layers.Whipped cream replaces eggs for a no-egg version.Prepare a day in advance for best flavour and texture.Layer into jars or glasses for individual servings.
