# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1 1/2 cups strong brewed espresso, cooled, with 2 tbsp sugar-free coffee liqueur OR 1 tsp rum extract, and 2 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener blend in a shallow dish. This infusion is key for your Delicious Keto Tiramisu - Low-Carb Italian Dessert.
02 -
In a large bowl, beat 2 cups cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, whisk 16 oz softened mascarpone cheese with 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener blend and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
03 -
Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix, as this creates the velvety texture for your Delicious Keto Tiramisu - Low-Carb Italian Dessert.
04 -
Dip pieces of your prepared Keto 'Ladyfinger' Sponge briefly into the espresso infusion, ensuring they are moist but not soggy. Arrange a single layer of soaked sponge pieces at the bottom of an 8x8 inch (or similar) serving dish.
05 -
Spread half of the velvety mascarpone cloud evenly over the first layer of soaked Keto 'Ladyfinger' Sponge. Repeat with another layer of dipped sponge pieces, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.
06 -
Cover the assembled Delicious Keto Tiramisu - Low-Carb Italian Dessert tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
07 -
Just before serving your Delicious Keto Tiramisu - Low-Carb Italian Dessert, use a fine-mesh sieve to generously dust the top with 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder. This adds a beautiful finish and a hint of bitterness to balance the sweetness. Slice and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
Sponge Substitution: If you don't want to make a keto sponge from scratch, you can use store-bought keto cookies (like shortbread or vanilla wafers) or even a thin layer of keto almond flour cake.
02 -
Espresso Strength: For the best flavor, use a very strong, freshly brewed espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, strong drip coffee or instant espresso powder dissolved in hot water works well.
03 -
Chilling is Key: Don't rush the chilling process. The longer your tiramisu chills, the better the flavors will meld and the firmer the layers will become, making it easier to slice.
04 -
Storage: Store leftover Delicious Keto Tiramisu - Low-Carb Italian Dessert covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It generally tastes even better the next day!
