Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Ladyfingers mold (optional)
- Baking tray
- Spatula
Ingredients
For the Sponge Cake/Ladyfingers:
- 65g (½ cup) almond flour
- Pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 20g (1½ tablespoons) powdered sweetener
- 54g (1 large egg)
- 45g (¼ cup) heavy cream
- 30g (2½ tablespoons) butter, melted
For the Mascarpone Cream:
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 2 medium eggs (or 70g heavy cream, whipped, as an alternative)
- 50g (¼ cup) powdered sweetener
- 150ml (1¼ cup) brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
Prepare the Sponge Cake/Ladyfingers:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper (or grease a ladyfingers mold if using).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, salt, baking powder, and powdered sweetener.
- In a separate bowl, mix the egg, heavy cream, and melted butter until smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a batter.
- Spread the batter onto the prepared baking tray or spoon it into a ladyfingers mold.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm. Allow to cool before cutting into strips if not using a mold.
Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:
- If using eggs: Whisk the eggs with powdered sweetener until light and fluffy. Fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
- If using whipped cream: Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and powdered sweetener until well combined.
Assemble the Tiramisu:
- Dip the ladyfingers or sponge strips into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy.
- In a serving dish, layer the soaked sponge at the base, followed by a generous layer of mascarpone cream. Repeat the layers as desired, ending with a cream layer.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder.
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Notes
- 🍳 If concerned about using raw eggs, opt for the heavy cream alternative for the mascarpone layer.
- ☕ Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for a bold flavor.
- 🎨 A ladyfingers mold can give a more traditional tiramisu appearance but is not necessary.
