A no bake dessert with easy to find ingredients
Ingredients
9 1/2 Graham crackers
2 tablespoons Instant coffee
1/4 cup Hot water
8 oz. Cream cheese (room temperature)
1 cup Pumpkin
3 tablespoons Maple syrup
2 teaspoons Pumkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
1 1/2 cup Whipping cream
2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
2 teaspoons Cinnamon + more for dusting on top
Directions
Take the cream cheese out of the fridge, I do it the night before. Place a big bowl and beaters in the fridge for whipping the cream. Layer 4 1/4 Graham crackers in the bottom of a 8×8 dish. Heat 1/4 cup of water and dissolve 2 tablespoons of instant coffee in it.
Combine 1 cup cream cheese with 1 cup pumpkin, 3 tablespoons maple syrup and 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice (or cinnamon) until smooth, using a fork and/or a spatula. Add the coffee and spread over the crackers.
Make another layer of crackers.
Whip 1 1/2 cup of cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla, until soft peaks. Spread over the crackers.
Dust a pinch of cinnamon using a sifter for decoration.
I love tiramisu but my regular grocery store doesn't have lady fingers nor mascarpone so with this recipe I can make it more easily. Also I love pumpkin and it is American so it's why I call this recipe American tiramisu. It is so good, it tastes like a pumpkin spice latté.
Let me know if you try it. I write my recipes knowing that you are reading it from a smart device and I repeat the amount of ingredients in the directions so you don't have to scroll up and down while cooking. Let me know if it works for you.
Happy cooking and bon appétit!
P.S. If you don't like coffee, you could leave it out or substitute with cocoa powder.
October 2022 update:
This time around I decorated with grated chocolate covered expresso beans. I like the taste and the aroma. I think next time I'll sprinkle some over each layer of crackers.
