Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 200 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 150 grams Greek yogurt (unsweetened, plain)
- 4 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
- 12 pieces Ladyfinger biscuits
- 180 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the pitted and halved cherries with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries release their juices and soften slightly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered erythritol, and almond extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3. Pour the almond milk into a shallow dish. Dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the almond milk briefly, ensuring they soak but do not become overly soggy.
4. In a rectangular serving dish or individual dessert cups, assemble the tiramisu by layering 6 soaked ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom.
5. Spread half of the mascarpone-yogurt mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, followed by half of the cooled cherry mixture.
6. Repeat the layers with the remaining 6 ladyfingers, the rest of the mascarpone-yogurt mixture, and the cherries.
7. Dust the surface of the tiramisu with cocoa powder using a fine sieve and sprinkle with slivered almonds for added texture and flavor.
8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Serve chilled and enjoy your lower-sugar Cherry Almond Tiramisu!
