Ingredients for Pistachio Tiramisu

Pistachio Tiramisu is a delightful variation of the classic Tiramisu, the traditional Italian dessert. It consists of delicious layers of ladyfingers soaked in espresso and a luscious mascarpone cream infused with the rich flavor of pistachios. The top layer is delicately sprinkled with finely chopped pistachios or cocoa powder to add a finishing touch.

To make this decadent pistachio tiramisu, you’ll need these ingredients:

250 g mascarpone cheese, at room temperature (1 cup)
200 ml heavy cream (¾ cup plus 1 tbsp)
50 g powdered sugar (⅓ cup plus 1 tbsp)
200 g pistachio spread, unsweetened (7 oz) – The pistachio spread used in this recipe is sugar-free. If you can only find a sweetened pistachio spread, reduce the amount of powdered sugar.
250 ml brewed espresso coffee, cooled (1 cup plus 1 tbsp)
80 ml water (⅓ cup)
200 g Ladyfinger cookies or Savoiardi cookies (7 oz)
50 g Chopped pistachios (2 oz)

How To Make Pistachio Tiramisu

Make the Espresso Syrup. To make the espresso syrup, you’ll need just 2 ingredients: espresso, and water. Combine the cooled coffee and water in a shallow dish. Mix well. You can adjust the amounts to your taste, making it sweeter by adding sugar or intensifying the espresso flavor with less water.

Make the Pistachio Mascarpone Filling. In a separate bowl, work the mascarpone with a spatula until creamy. Add heavy cream and powdered sugar and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the pistachio spread and beat until the cream is smooth and homogeneous. You can adjust the amount of sugar up or down depending on how sweet you want the filling.

Pistachio Tiramisu Storage Instructions

Store any leftover pistachio tiramisu covered in the refrigerator. Because this recipe is egg-free, it will last up to 5 days.

To keep your tiramisu as fresh as possible:

Keep the tiramisu stored in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap, foil, or a lid. This prevents air exposure, which can cause it to dry out.
For the best quality, enjoy the tiramisu within 4 days. While it will last up to 5 days total, the cake layers may start to soften and the cream filling can become runny.
Allow leftover tiramisu to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving to improve the flavor and texture.
You can also freeze leftover tiramisu for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
