Steps:

  • Combine egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add mascarpone cheese and 2 tablespoons amaretto. Beat well.

If you have viewed my other recipes, you might have picked up that I favor low fat, low sugar recipes. Some people might think ---why? Where is all the fun of eating gone? If you try this recipe, you will quickly discover that flavor and low calories, low fat can go together. This is becoming my signature dessert. My family raved about it and yours will, too! The majority of the ingredients and technique came from a Nilla Wafers cookie box but I have modified it to the "light" side.

Yield 1 pie, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
3 cups skim milk
2 sugar-free instant pudding mix, vanilla sugar free
1 (8 ounce) container dessert topping, divided (nonfat)
48 vanilla wafers
4 ounces strong black coffee, cooled
2 ounces dark chocolate, squares, grated
1 cup berries

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the coffee. Freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee will give your tiramisu the best flavor.
  • Don't overbeat the mascarpone cheese. Overbeating can make it grainy and ruin the texture of your tiramisu.
  • Let the tiramisu chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly.
  • When dipping the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture, be quick so they don't get too soggy.
  • Layer the tiramisu in a clear glass dish or trifle bowl so you can see the beautiful layers.
  • Garnish the tiramisu with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving.
