    Ingredients

    • 500 mL espresso
    • 360 grams ladyfinger cookies about 42 cookies

    Pistachio Mascarpone Cream

    • 1.5 cups granulated sugar, divided
    • 4 eggs, large
    • 1 ¾ cups mascarpone
    • ½ cup + 1 tbsp pistachio cream
    • chopped roasted pistachios, for topping the tiramisu

    Instructions

    • Add the espresso to a shallow dish, and add 4 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well. Set aside.

    Make the Pistachio Mascarpone Cream

    • Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the egg yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer.
    • Using the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, start whisking the egg yolks on medium speed. Add in 1.25 cups of sugar. Keep mixing until egg yolks are a light yellow colour, almost a custard consistency.
    • Add the mascarpone in, mix again until well incorporated. Add the pistachio cream and mix once more.
    • Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
    • Add the egg whites to the pistachio cream, and using a spatula, gently fold them in. The pistachio tiramisu cream is ready.

    Assemble the tiramisu

    • Dip the ladyfingers in coffee, and arrange them in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
    • Pour in half the pistachio cream over the ladyfingers, and smooth over with a spatula.
    • Add another layer of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and top with the rest of the pistachio cream.
    • Cover the tiramisu with cling wrap and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours to set (overnight is great!)
    • When ready to serve, top the tiramisu with chopped pistachios. Serve, and enjoy!
