Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 3 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 2 tablespoons Coffee-flavored liqueur (optional)
• 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated erythritol until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 8

Once cooled, cut the cake into two even layers and set aside.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the brewed coffee and coffee-flavored liqueur (if using).

Step 10

In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered erythritol and continue to beat until fully incorporated.

Step 11

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Step 12

Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Step 13

To assemble the tiramisu, place one layer of cake on the bottom of a suitably sized serving dish.

Step 14

Brush the cake layer generously with half of the coffee mixture.

Step 15

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the soaked cake layer.

Step 16

Repeat with the second layer of cake, brushing with the remaining coffee mixture and then spreading with the remaining mascarpone mix.

Step 17

Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and top with dark chocolate shavings if desired.

Step 18

Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving to allow the flavors to meld together for the best taste.
