Instructions
1
Begin by lining a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing some overhang to make removal easier; set aside.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup and bourbon until well combined, and then set aside.
3
In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree with ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt until smooth.
4
In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of whipping cream with granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until the cream reaches soft peaks. Then, gently fold this whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
5
For the topping, blend the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar in a small mixing bowl, beating on low speed until just combined. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of whipping cream, beating until the mixture thickens, but be careful not to overbeat.
6
To assemble the tiramisu: Place half of the split ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the maple-bourbon syrup evenly over the ladyfingers.
7
Spread half of the pumpkin filling over the soaked ladyfingers, ensuring even coverage. Layer the remaining ladyfingers on top and drizzle with the remaining syrup. Finish by adding the rest of the filling on top.
8
Dollop the mascarpone topping over the filling, using the back of a spoon to spread it evenly. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
9
When ready to serve, lift the tiramisu out of the pan using the overhanging plastic wrap and transfer it to a serving platter. Dust the top with freshly grated nutmeg to finish. Carefully slice the dessert into portions and serve chilled.
