For the Cream Layer
- 250g Mascarpone cheese
- 100g Pistachio paste
For the Base
- 200g Ladyfingers
- 1 cup Strong brewed coffee, cooled
- Prepare the coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool completely. This will be used to soak the ladyfingers, imparting them with a rich coffee flavor.
- Make the pistachio cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese with the pistachio paste. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a creamy and nutty filling.
- Soak the ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy, then layer them evenly at the bottom of your serving dish.
- Layer the cream: Spread a generous layer of the pistachio mascarpone cream over the soaked ladyfingers, smoothing the top.
- Repeat layers: Add a second layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers followed by another layer of the pistachio cream, depending on the size of your dish and desired thickness.
- Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set perfectly.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the pistachio tiramisu as is or garnish with chopped pistachios for added texture and presentation.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee for soaking ladyfingers.
- Adjust the quantity of pistachio paste according to your taste preference for nuttiness.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- You can sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for added crunch and visual appeal.
