Preparation

Ingredients for the special tiramisu

For the cream:

3 egg yolks
110 g sugar
250 g mascarpone
100 g pumpkin puree (preferably Hokkaido)
3 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger powder
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves

For the layers:

1 packet of Amarettini
1 packet of caramel cookies (e.g. Lotus)
200 ml strong coffee (cooled, optionally with espresso)

For the decoration:

Caramel sauce (optional)
Cinnamon or cocoa powder for sprinkling

Preparation - step by step

Prepare the pumpkin puree

Cut the pumpkin into small pieces, cook until soft and finely puree. Strain off any excess liquid.
Mix the cream

Beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy, fold in the mascarpone, then stir in the pumpkin puree and spices. Mix everything well until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
Seasoning coffee

Add a little cinnamon or cloves to the cooled coffee - this adds depth and a wintery aroma.
Layers

Dip the cookies briefly in the coffee and layer alternately with the cream in glasses or a baking dish. Finish with the cream.
Cooling

Leave to infuse in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serve

Sprinkle with cinnamon, cocoa powder or caramel sauce. If you like, crumble a few cookies on top for a crunchy topping.

Tips from the househusband:
