    Top ideas for dinner tonight

    Enjoy the pumpkin spin on this traditional Italian dessert, tiramisu, during the cool days of autumn harvest. Cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg provide a classic pumpkin pie spice, and the maple syrup brings a welcomed sweetness. Enjoy this dessert with friends after a large, autumn-inspired dinner. Serves well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or maple-flavor syrup
    • 1 tablespoon bourbon
    • 1/2 of a 15-ounce can (3/4 cup) pumpkin
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup whipping cream
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 of an 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese, softened
    • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
    • 1/2 cup whipping cream
    • 1 3-ounce package ladyfingers, split
    • Ground nutmeg or freshly grated nutmeg

    Directions

    1. 1Line a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap; set aside. For syrup, in a small bowl, combine maple syrup and bourbon. Set aside.
    2. 2For filling, in a small bowl, combine pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup whipping cream and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gently fold whipped cream into pumpkin mixture.
    3. 3For topping, in another small mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Beat on low speed until combined. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup whipping cream just until thickened (do not overbeat).
    4. 4To assemble, arrange half of the ladyfingers in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared pan. Drizzle evenly with half of the syrup. Top with half of the filling, spreading evenly. Arrange remaining ladyfingers in a single layer over filling. Drizzle with remaining syrup and top with remaining filling. Dollop topping over filling. Using the back of a spoon, carefully spread topping evenly over filling. Cover and chill for 8 to 24 hours.
    5. 5Use the plastic wrap to lift tiramisu out of pan. Place tiramisu on a serving platter. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Carefully cut the dessert crosswise into slices. Makes 6 servings.

    • I never ....

      I never use canned pumpkin. What I do, after Halloween, is I cut up the pumpkin into small pieces and trim off the inside stringy parts and the orange rind from each piece and discard that. So now you are left with cubes of pumpkin.Then I freeze it all. It keeps for a good long while. To unfreeze it, just put it in a double boiler for a few minutes or let it defrost on the counter top . This does look delicious, too!! Maybe I'll make this :-)
