Ingredients

Instructions

  • First, mix the espresso powder, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and heavy whipping cream in the bowl of a stand mixer. Set aside to bloom for 5-10 minutes.
    A metal mixing bowl contains a mixture of cream and sprinkled ground spices, including cinnamon, on a light textured surface.
  • Next, add the pumpkin puree, blended cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons of syrup, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.
    A glass bowl containing pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and spices on a light textured surface.
  • Using the whip attachment, turn the stand mixer on high and whip until stiff peaks form.
    A metal mixing bowl containing light-colored creamed mixture, likely butter and sugar, on a textured gray surface.
  • Assemble the tiramisu. Lay half of the Nilla wafers on the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish, making sure they overlap slightly.
    A square baking pan filled with a single layer of round vanilla wafer cookies arranged in a grid pattern.
  • Scoop half of the pumpkin mixture and spread it on top of the Nilla wafers.
    A square metal baking pan filled with an even layer of light brown cake batter on a textured light surface.
  • Then spread half of the whipped topping on top of the pumpkin layer.
    A hand uses a blue spatula to spread a white creamy layer over a yellow batter in a square metal baking pan.
  • Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients have been used. Top with sifted cocoa powder and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Serve topped with more whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
    A square pan of tiramisu topped with cocoa powder sits on a light textured surface next to a bowl of cocoa, white cloth, gold fork and spoon, and two small white pumpkins.

Notes

  • I let the espresso powder sit in the heavy cream to allow the flavors to bloom before assembly.
  • * I measure the cottage cheese after it has been blended. This is to ensure that it isn’t too thin.
