ingredients
- 24 or more sugar free vanilla wafers or sugar free lady fingers
- 1 pound mascarpone cheese (500 g)
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream (14%)
- 3-4 large eggs (separated)
- 1 cup of coffee
- 5 tbs. Baileys or similar alcohol
- 5-6 tbs. sugar substitute
- 2 tbs. cocoa powder
MAKES: 12 servings
preparation
- In a bowl using electric mixer beat the egg yolks with sugar substitute until creamy. Set aside. In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until fluffy and forming peaks.
- Add mascarpone cheese into egg yolks and beat lightly. Fold in sour cream and mix and beat lightly. Add the egg whites into the mix.
- Lightly and quickly dip the sugar free lady fingers into the coffee (I dip them on one side only) or alternatively when you arrange them in layers just sprinkle them with coffee. Then sprinkle the sugar free lady fingers with the alcohol of choice. Cover with a thick layer of the eggs-mascarpone mix. Then again arrange another layer of sugar free ladyfingers dipped/sprinkled with coffee and Baileys. Cover again with the mascarpone mixture.
- Leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours and only then sprinkle with cocoa powder. The tiramisu is best if eaten at least 5-6 hours later.
