Description

Delicious Italian dessert everybody loves: Tiramisu! This one is saving you some calories by using cream cheese as one of its ingredients ;)


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (350ml) strong coffee or espresso
  • 23 tbsp. amaretto
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • 14 oz. (400g) mascarpone
  • 7 o7. (200g) cream cheese
  • 7 oz. (200g) ladyfingers
  • cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Make the coffee/espresso and let cool down. Mix with the amaretto and set aside. Mix the egg yolks on high speed until light and creamy. Fold in the mascarpone and cream cheese to get a smooth cream.
  2. Take a 9.5×7.5 inches (24x19cm) casserole or baking dish and place the first layer of ladyfingers inside. You probably need to break some fingers to fill gaps and get a nice even layer ;) Brush the ladyfingers with half of the coffee/espresso mix and spread a bit less than half of the cream on top and smooth out. Place another layer of ladyfingers on top and brush with the remaining coffee/espresso mix. Fill the mascarpone cream into a piping bag with a large round tip and pipe small dollops all over the ladyfingers and dust with cocoa powder. Place in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Enjoy with some coffee!
