Description
A creamy and delightful pistachio dessert layered with ladyfingers and coffee.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup pistachio cream
- 8 oz mascarpone (at room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups strong coffee or espresso (cooled)
- 1 package (7 oz) ladyfingers (about 18)
- Chopped or ground pistachios (for topping)
Instructions
- Whip the cold heavy cream with the sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. This would take about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the mascarpone and pistachio cream until completely smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in two additions until fully combined and creamy.
- Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each ladyfinger, about 1 second per side, and arrange in a single layer in an 8×8-inch dish.
- Spread half of the pistachio cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Add a second layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers.
- Spread the remaining pistachio cream on top and smooth with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, top with chopped or ground pistachios.
Notes
- For best flavor, refrigerate overnight.
- Use fresh pistachio cream for optimal taste.
