EQUIPMENT

INGREDIENTS

15 sponge finger biscuits also called ladyfingers
1 cup coffee cooled, made to taste
250 g (9 oz) cream cheese
¾ cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
400 ml (13.5 floz) heavy cream thickened cream
¾ cup pistachio cream or paste
¼ cup pistachios crushed
1 tablespoon cocoa powder or hot chocolate powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Line the base of your loaf pan or round tin with ladyfingers. Using a squeeze bottle, pour the cooled coffee over the top.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth.
Add the heavy cream and mix until it starts to thicken. Add the pistachio cream and mix again until combined. Don't overmix, or the filling may split.
Pipe or spoon half the filling over the soaked ladyfingers. Dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with half the crushed pistachios.
Add a second layer of ladyfingers and pour over the remaining cooled coffee.
Pipe or spoon the remaining filling over the second layer of ladyfingers.
Sprinkle with the remaining crushed pistachios. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.

NOTES

Pan Size: Written for a 12in x 4in loaf pan. A 20cm (8-inch) round springform tin, at least 6.5cm (2.5–2.75in) deep, holds the same volume and works as a direct substitute.
Eggless sponge fingers can be swapped in at the same quantity for a fully eggless version, since standard ladyfingers contain egg.
Mascarpone can replace the cream cheese at the same quantity for a more traditional tiramisu flavor, keep an eye on mixing time as mascarpone can split faster.
Don't overmix once the pistachio cream goes in. Mix just until combined, overmixing is the most common reason the filling splits.
Let the coffee cool completely before soaking the ladyfingers, warm coffee will soften the filling underneath.
