Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Gingersnap cookies
- 240 milliliters Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 425 grams Pumpkin purée
- 450 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped candied ginger (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the coffee: Brew the espresso or strong coffee and set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix thoroughly until smooth and fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until medium peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin-mascarpone mixture until smooth and fluffy. Set the filling aside.
Using a shallow dish, quickly dip each gingersnap cookie into the cooled coffee, soaking each side lightly. Do not oversoak, as the cookies will become too soft.
In an 8x8-inch dish (or a similar-sized serving dish), create the first layer by lining the bottom with the coffee-soaked gingersnaps.
Spread half of the pumpkin filling evenly over the gingersnap layer.
Add another layer of coffee-soaked gingersnaps on top of the pumpkin filling.
Spread the remaining pumpkin cream mixture evenly over the second cookie layer.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, allowing the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld.
Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder (if using) and sprinkle with chopped candied ginger for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
