Pistachio Tiramisu Ingredients
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Instant coffee: Select good-quality coffee for the best flavor. Ensure that it is not hot because this will cause the ladyfingers to soften when they are dipped in.
- Pistachio paste: Use good-quality pistachio paste for the best nutty flavor.
- Heavy cream: Use full-fat cream to achieve the best consistency.
- Raspberries: Top the berries with fresh raspberries.
Tips and Tricks
- Coffee: You can control the strength of the coffee in this recipe. If you prefer a more robust flavor, add 4-6 teaspoons of coffee. Conversely, if you don't want a strong flavor, use 1 teaspoon of coffee.
- Ladyfingers: Dip the ladyfingers into the coffee pistachio syrup for no more than 30 seconds. This will ensure that they stay firm as they absorb moisture quickly.
- Mascarpone: Do not overmix the heavy cream and mascarpone filling! Overmixing will result in the filling curdling.
- Assembly: I used a round tin to assemble this tiramisu; however, you can use a square tin, rectangular tin, or deep dish.
- Toppings: I topped this pistachio tiramisu with fresh raspberries; however, you can top it with fresh strawberries, crushed pistachios, pistachio paste, Quick White Chocolate Sauce (2-Ingredient) and Whipped White Chocolate Pistachio Ganache.
How to Make Pistachio Tiramisu
- Pour heavy cream and sugar into a large bowl.
- Whisk for 1-2 minutes or until soft peaks form.
- Add pistachio paste to the bowl.
- Then add mascarpone.
- Whisk mascarpone, heavy cream and pistachio paste for 1-3 minutes or until smooth. Do not overmix.
- Combine hot water, instant coffee and pistachio paste and stir. Set the mixture aside and allow to cool.
- Dip lady fingers into the coffee mixture for 30 seconds and place the ladyfingers in a tin.
- Scoop half of the pistachio cream on top of the ladyfingers.
- Smooth the pistachio cream until flat.
- Then, drizzle pistachio paste on top and smooth.
- Next, add a second layer of ladyfingers.
- Then, add the remaining layer of pistachio cream.
- Add more pistachio paste on top and smooth. Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- As the tiramisu sets, dip ladyfingers halfway into pistachio paste to create a drip effect. Then, place them on parchment paper and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or freeze for 45 minutes or until the pistachio has set.
- Once the tiramisu has set, carefully remove the tin.
- Then, gently press the ladyfingers around the tiramisu to make a beautiful Charlotte cake-style border.
