This creamy, delicately spiced dessert is very satisfying. If you’re looking to shake up your Thanksgiving dessert spread, look no further. This is the one. It is a no cook recipe, so it comes together in minutes. It does need to chill for a few hours, so make it earlier in the day.
Tiramisu has been one of my favorites since the first time I tasted it. I just love the creamy texture and the subtle flavors, but I love this pumpkin version even more than the classic version.
Traditionally, tiramisu contains alcohol, but I decided to leave it out because I’m not a fan of boozy desserts, but if you are, by all means, booze it up.
I ditched the traditional ladyfingers in favor of Biscoff cookies, and it just works. That shouldn’t be surprising, as Biscoff cookies and coffee are a match made in heaven.
