Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 150 grams Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams Stevia or sugar substitute (granulated)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 ml Espresso or strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 20 pieces Ladyfingers
- 10 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Separate the egg whites and yolks into two clean bowls. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the stevia (or sugar substitute) until creamy and pale in color.
Gently fold the mascarpone cheese and Greek yogurt into the egg yolk mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Be gentle to retain the light and airy texture.
Prepare the coffee mixture in a shallow dish and allow it to cool completely. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for about 1-2 seconds per side—do not oversoak.
In a rectangular dish or individual serving glasses, begin assembling the tiramisu. Start with a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom.
Spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mascarpone on top.
Sift cocoa powder evenly over the top layer and add dark chocolate shavings for garnish, if desired.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy a light, indulgent treat!
