Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Pineapple tidbits (canned, drained)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 8 pieces Graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until well blended and set aside.
In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until fully combined to create a creamy filling.
Crush the graham crackers into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor, leaving some small chunks for texture.
In serving glasses or small bowls, begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of graham cracker crumbs as the base.
Add a layer of the pumpkin mixture, followed by a layer of pineapple tidbits.
Top the pineapple with a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with the mascarpone cream on top.
Garnish the final layer with chopped walnuts for added crunch, if desired.
Chill the assembled desserts in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
