TIRAMISU

This is one of my favourite recipes. A delightful boozy treat. With only 8g of Carbs per portion, it is utterly delicious and totally decadent for a diet!




The Cake Part - Ingredients
Makes 18 pieces for 18 individual portions
  • 20 tblsp      Hazlenut Meal (not flour as this is too heavy)
  • 2 tsp           Baking Powder
  • 1 tblsp        Cocoa Powder (highest cocoa content you can find)
  • 4 tblsp        Melted Butter
  • 3 medium   Eggs
  • 2 tsp           Vanilla Essence
  • Slosh          Vanilla or Brown Sugar Skinny Syrup (as sugar replacement)
  • 4 tsp           Instant coffee in a dash of boiling water to dissolve
 The Cake Part - Method
  • Pre-heat oven to 175*C
  • Line and lightly butter an oblong tin - 23cm x 17cm
  • Combine the dry ingredients well in a bowl.
  • Mix together the eggs, vanilla essence and Skinny Syrup and then add the dissolved coffee.
  • Combine the dry ingredients with the egg mixture and the melted butter and mix well.
  • Pour evenly into the tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Allow to cool in the tin and then cut carefully into 18 pieces (3 x 6)
  • Pieces can be frozen for future use in an airtight bag or container

The Boozy Marsala Part - Ingredients
Makes 4 individual Tiramisu desserts
  • 2 shots        Roma Coffee (or your favourite coffee) - Espresso measures
  • 2 caps         Marsala liqueur
  • 4 pieces      Tiramisu cake (from above)
The Boozy Marsala Part - Method
  • Pour the shots of coffee and the caps of Marsala over the cake pieces in a small bowl and turn them over until they have soaked up all the liquid.

The Creamy Part - Ingredients
  • 250g tub     Mascarpone Cheese
  • 300g           Double Cream
  • 2 sloshes    Marsala liqueur
  • 1 sosh         Vanilla Skinny Syrup
The Creamy Part - Method
  • Whisk the cream and mascarpone cheese together until soft peaks are formed.  Then whisk in the marsala liqueur and vanilla syrup to taste and the cream is firm enough not to fall out of an upturned bowl.

Assemble the individual Tiramisus into four glasses by applying the cream mixture on the bottom and around the sides of each glass.  Press the coffee & marsala soaked cake pieces in the centre and top with cream to seal in.  Cover with clingfilm and keep in the fridge.

Sprinkle cocoa powder on the top to serve. Enjoy!

NOTE: I OFTEN ADJUST MY RECIPES WHEN I FIND NEW INGREDIENTS AND WILL UPDATE THE RECIPES ON MY BLOG ACCORDINGLY (RATHER THAN PRODUCING ANOTHER RECIPE), SO PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK BEFORE MAKING.
