Spiced Pumpkin Tiramisu
1 package Italian Ladyfingers (Soft, not hard cookies)
1/8 cup Frangelico Liqueur
8-oz. Mascarpone
1/2 cup canned Pumpkin Puree
1 tsp. ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground Ginger
1/4 tsp. ground Mace
1 1/2 cups Confectioner's Sugar
1 tsp. Orange Extract
2 1/2 cups Heavy Cream, whipped and chilled, divided
Arrange ladyfingers on the bottom of a 9-inch square pan. Pour the
Frangelico liqueur over the soft sweet ladyfingers. (You may
substitute the same volume of Orange Juice for a non-alcoholic
preparation.)
In a mixing bowl, blend together the mascarpone with the pumpkin
puree. Add the cinnamon, ginger, mace, confectioner's sugar and
orange extract. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream. Pour the
mixture over lady fingers.
Gently spread remaining whipped cream on top of pumpkin mixture.
Sprinkle the top with a dash or two of additional cinnamon, if
desired. Cover and refrigerate at least two hours before serving, or
overnight. Slice to serve.
