Hello everybody!
I was experimenting on this recipe for a while. The “real” sugar-bomb tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts, but I eat it only on occasions or vacations.
Good news is I came up with a recipe that is very similar to the “real” thing but it has no sugar, it’s gluten free and very low in carbs.
Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients for the cake:
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 cup sweetener (swerve)
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
- Preheat the oven at 325 F
- Combine the sweetener, eggs and the vanilla extract and mix it all together with a hand mixer
- Add the cocoa powder, the coconut flour and the pinch of salt
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 20 seconds than add the butter mix it all up and microwave till it’s all soft
- Slowly add it to the egg mixture
- Pour it into a greased 8×8 pan
- Bake it for 45-50 min
After the cake is done, let it cool and start making the mascarpone filling.
Mascarpone filling ingredients:
- 2 egg, yolks and white separated
- 1/2 cup sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz (250 g) mascarpone
- 1 cup espresso coffee, not too strong
- Few drops of rom aroma (you can skip it)
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Directions:
- Beat the egg yolks and sweetener in a stand mixer till it has a light yellow color, around 8-10 minuets
- Add vanilla and mascarpone, beat until just combined
- In a clean bowl beat egg whites until stiff
- Gradually fold the egg withes into the yolk mixture
- Mix the coffee and rom aroma
- Cut the cake horizontally and dip it in the coffee
- Spread over half of the mascarpone cream
- Top it with the second coffee dipped cake layer
- Spread with remaining cream
- Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hrs
- Dust with cocoa powder, before serving
- Enjoy and you are very welcome!
