TIRAMISU (SOUTH BEACH DIET)



Tiramisu (South Beach Diet) image

I've recently gone on the south beach diet and have lost 11 pounds to date. This recipe looks so tasty and I can't wait to try it. Being that so many desserts are so filled with carbs I was delighted to find this recipe. So you can have your cake and eat it too! I don't eat dairy so I'm going to substitute all the dairy with non-dairy ingredients.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (divided)
1/3 cup Splenda granular, sugar substitute plus
2 teaspoons Splenda granular
6 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup fat-free whipped topping (or light)
1/4 cup decaffeinated espresso (strongly brewed)
1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
mint sprig (for garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350'F.
  • Lightly spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray. I use grape seed oil.
  • Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl beat the egg whites at high speed, with the cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form. About 5 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoons of the vanilla extract and beat to combine. Add 1/3 cup sugar substitute and beat the mixture to form stiff peaks.
  • Sift 2 tablespoons of the flour over the beaten egg whites and fold gently to incorporate. Repeat twice with remaining flour until all the flour is folded into the egg whites.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and gently smooth the top. Bake turning once half way through the cooking time until the cake is golden and the tester comes out clean. About 20 minutes. Cool completely.
  • In a small bowl combine the ricotta, whipped topping, remaining 2 teaspoons sugar substitute, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.
  • Cut the cake in half vertically down the middle to make two 4 by 8 inch pieces. Place the halves on a flat work surface.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons espresso onto each half. Spread half of the ricotta mixture onto one of the halves and dust with half of the cocoa powder.
  • Top with the remaining cake half; spread the top with the remaining ricotta mixture and dust with remaining cocoa powder.
  • Using a serrated knife, gently cut cake crosswise into 4 slices and serve with mint leaves for garnish if using.
  • Bon Appetit!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup Splenda granular, plus
2 teaspoons Splenda granular
6 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup fat-free whipped topping
1/4 cup strongly brewed decaffeinated espresso

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F
  • Lightly coat an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer at high speed, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp of the vanilla and beat to combine. Add 1/3 cup of the sugar substitute and beat until stiff peaks form. Sift 2 TB of the flour over beaten egg whites and gently fold to incorporate. Repeat twice with remaining flour until all the flour is incorporated.
  • Pour batter into the pan and gently smooth the top. Bake, turning once halfway through, until cake is golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, combine ricotta, whipped topping, remaining 2 tsp sugar substitute, and remaining 1/4 tsp vanilla. Cut cake in half vertically down the middle to make two 4x8 pieces. Place the halves on a flat work surface. Drizzle 2 TB of the espresso onto each half.
  • Spread half of the ricotta mixture onto one of the cake halves and dust with half of the cocoa powder. Top with remaining cake half; spread the top with remaining ricotta mixture and dust with remaining cocoa powder. Using a serrated knife, gently cut cake crosswise into 4 slices. Eat & Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality espresso for the best flavor. You can use freshly brewed espresso or a strong store-bought espresso.
  • Make sure the mascarpone cheese is cold before using it. This will help it whip up more easily and create a lighter, fluffier texture.
  • If you don't have ladyfingers, you can use another type of cookie, such as biscotti or shortbread cookies.
  • To make a non-alcoholic version of this tiramisu, you can use decaffeinated espresso and omit the rum.
  • Tiramisu can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. This makes it a great dessert to make for parties or potlucks.

Conclusion:

This South Beach Diet-friendly tiramisu is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and fluffy, with a rich coffee flavor and a hint of rum. The best part is that it is made with healthy ingredients that are good for you. So you can enjoy this dessert without feeling guilty!
