About

Tiramisu is a beloved Italian dessert. It’s smooth, creamy, and caffeinated, so what’s not to like? Nonna Romana and I love making this pumpkin version for the holidays, primarily because it’s no-bake. Let’s be honest, we’re all trying to find an easy and delicious way to make something special for big gatherings. You can leave out the amaretto or substitute it with a touch of almond extract to make it alcohol-free.
