Revamp the classic tiramisu by adding pumpkin puree to the mix. One bite and you’ll be transported straight to Italy with this Double Chocolate Pumpkin Tiramisu!Well, I guess today’s post is the culmination of so many things for me. First, when I was shopping for lady fingers, I could not find any. Lady fingers, c’mon? Who would buy the whole stocks of lady fingers in the grocery market and not even left a single pack? To make it worse, the grocery market hadn’t received any shipment of lady fingers for days, so they too are not sure when the next shipment will be….I couldn’t wait to make these Double Chocolate Pumpkin Tiramisu!
I was so close from bailing out this week but my sister encouraged me to improvise. So, I went back to the grocery market at 10.30pm looking for something to replace lady fingers. I didn’t see lots of options and almost gave up – again – when all of the sudden I spotted these dessert shells. Hmmm… suddenly a light bulb appeared in my head and the name babymisu was invented. It was perfect for these Double Chocolate Pumpkin Tiramisu.
It’s probably one of the best ideas of using dessert shells. I’ve always cook for two or maximum four person for the past few years. So there were always lots of leftovers, especially when it comes to baking. Babymisu or minimisu is actually a perfect idea to cure your craving for sweets or when you only need to make a small portion of tiramisu. Babymisu is also perfect for last minute dessert idea because it doesn’t require overnight refrigeration, though you could still do it if you want. And the best part is… it only takes 30 minutes to prepare 4 babymisus.
Though the Fall season hasn’t officially started yet, but I’ve been adding pumpkins almost in every dish I made. And this is one of them… Double Chocolate Pumpkin Tiramisu. Chocolate fans, like myself, will cheer this twist on tiramisu. What is your favorite Fall recipe?

Great job improvising! I love a recipe that allows me to just make it for two also, since that’s what we have most days. Though I wouldn’t be ashamed if I just happened to eat one of these beauties for breakfast!

Sounds great – and I love the single servings.

Thanks, Lauren. Single servings totally helps when you only have 2 people at home. Plus you can keep another one for the next day

Chocolate? Pumpkin? Tiramisu? Any of these and I’d be interested, combine them and I’m ready to come on over for a bite!

Thanks, Sarah. Those two are my favorite Fall combo 🙂
