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)
Directions
Step 1
Separate the egg whites and yolks into two clean bowls. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the stevia (or sugar substitute) until creamy and pale in color.
Step 3
Gently fold the mascarpone cheese and Greek yogurt into the egg yolk mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
In a rectangular dish or individual serving glasses, begin assembling the tiramisu. Start with a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Sift cocoa powder evenly over the top layer and add dark chocolate shavings for garnish, if desired.
Step 9
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy a light, indulgent treat!
