Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Powdered erythritol
- 0.5 cup Brewed espresso (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate shavings (sugar-free, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, almond milk, granulated erythritol, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a thick batter forms. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check frequently to prevent overbaking.
Let the cake cool completely, then cut it into small rectangular slices to mimic ladyfingers. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered erythritol, and remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until light and fluffy. This will be your tiramisu cream.
To assemble, dip each 'ladyfinger' slice into the brewed espresso for a few seconds, ensuring they absorb the liquid but don’t become soggy.
Layer half of the soaked slices at the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the cake slices evenly.
Repeat with the remaining soaked slices, then top with the remaining mascarpone cream.
Dust unsweetened cocoa powder over the top layer. If desired, sprinkle with sugar-free dark chocolate shavings for extra flavor and garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop and the layers to set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your South Beach Diet-friendly tiramisu!
