Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1.5 cups Coffee
- 2 tablespoons Brandy or rum (optional)
- 24 pieces Sugar-free ladyfingers
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Brew the coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. If using, add the brandy or rum to the coffee and set it aside.
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Set aside in the refrigerator.
In a separate heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated erythritol, and salt. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and continuously whisk for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.
Remove the egg yolk mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the cooled egg mixture until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract to the mascarpone mixture and combine well.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream. The final mixture should be light and fluffy.
Quickly dip each sugar-free ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish or similar serving dish. Do not soak the ladyfingers; a quick dip is sufficient.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Repeat with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly.
Before serving, sift unsweetened cocoa powder generously over the top of the tiramisu.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your sugar-free classic tiramisu!
