Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the room-temperature mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, and one teaspoon of pumpkin spice to the mixture.
- Incorporate all ingredients with a spatula until the color is uniform and the texture is fluffy.
- Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the chilled chai concentrate, being careful not to soak them too long.
- Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish.
- Spread half of the pumpkin cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat the soaking and layering process for the second level.
- Dust the final top layer with the remaining teaspoon of pumpkin spice.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve the best volume. If the pumpkin cream is too thick, fold in an extra tablespoon of heavy cream. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, use a high-quality, non-alcoholic chai concentrate.
