How to Make Pumpkin Gingersnap Tiramisu
- Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cornstarch, salt, and 1 1/2 cups sugar until sugar is moistened.
- Heat 4 cups milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until steaming (do not boil).
- Temper the egg yolk mixture: Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk into the yolk mixture; then pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens and boils (about 5 minutes).
- Whisk in pumpkin puree and cook for 1 minute more, whisking constantly.
- Remove from heat. Whisk in bloomed gelatin, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until completely dissolved.
- Whisk in softened mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave Calvados and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar on high for 10 seconds, or until sugar dissolves.
- Layer one-third of the whole gingersnaps in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Brush the gingersnaps lightly with Calvados syrup.
- Spread one-third of the pumpkin custard over the gingersnaps.
- Repeat layers twice more with remaining gingersnaps and custard, ending with custard.
- Sprinkle half of the crushed gingersnaps on top.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the tiramisu to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze overnight.
- To thaw, let the tiramisu stand at room temperature for 6 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Sprinkle with remaining crushed gingersnaps before serving.
