Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Layer
  • 500 ml Double Cream Heavy cream can be a substitute.
  • 250 g Mascarpone Essential for creamy texture.
  • 100 g Icing Sugar Caster sugar works too, but icing sugar dissolves easier.
  • 200 g Pistachio Cream Brands like Pisti are recommended.
For the Soaked Layers
  • 200 g Savoiardi Sponge Fingers Boudoir biscuits are a good alternative.
  • 250 ml Strong Coffee Use high-quality coffee for best flavor.
For the Garnish
  • 50 g Chopped Pistachios Toast for extra flavor if desired.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Shallow dish
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pistachio Tiramisu
  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour in the double cream and icing sugar. Using an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks begin to form, around 3-4 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, beat together the mascarpone and pistachio cream until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
  3. Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool slightly. Pour the coffee into a shallow dish for dipping the sponge fingers.
  4. Dip each savoiardi sponge finger briefly into the coffee, about 1-2 seconds, then layer them in a medium-sized dish.
  5. Spread half of the pistachio cream mixture evenly over the dipped savoiardi.
  6. Repeat the process by dipping more savoiardi and placing them on top of the cream layer, then spread the remaining pistachio cream mixture on top.
  7. Use additional pistachio cream to pipe decorative designs on top, if desired. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and chill for at least 6 hours.
  8. About 20 minutes before serving, remove the Pistachio Tiramisu from the fridge to soften slightly. Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top just before serving.
