Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Erythritol (granulated)
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
• 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
• 2 tablespoons Instant espresso powder
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and granulated erythritol.

Step 3

Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. In a large bowl, whisk the yolks with vanilla extract until smooth. Add the dry mixture into the yolks and stir until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks using an electric mixer. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three parts, being careful not to deflate the batter.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly into the lined baking pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 6

Prepare the coffee mixture by dissolving the espresso powder in the boiling water. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese and powdered erythritol until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Step 8

Cut the cooled sponge cake into two even layers. Place the first layer into the bottom of a square or rectangular dish.

Step 9

Brush the cake layer generously with the coffee mixture, ensuring it's well soaked but not overly saturated.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Place the second layer of cake on top and repeat the process, soaking with coffee and spreading the remaining mascarpone cream over it.

Step 12

Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.

Step 13

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld and the tiramisu set.

Step 14

Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your low-carb tiramisu!
