South Beach Diet Tiramisu - 13g Carbs, 0g Fiber
From: The South Beach Diet Supercharged
A favorite Italian dessert, tiramisu (meaning "pick-me-up," in reference
to the espresso and cocoa it includes) makes a light yet rich finish to
end a meal.
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 1 hr 10 min
Total Time: 1 hr 30 min
Servings: 4
1 spray cooking spray to coat pan
6 large egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 pinch salt
3/4 tsp vanilla extract divided
1/3 cups sugar substitute
6 Tbsp whole-wheat pastry flour, divided
1/2 cup ricotta cheese, part-skim
1/2 cup whipped dessert topping, fat-free
1/4 cup espresso, decaffeinated divided
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder, unsweetened divided
Mint, fresh for garnish (optional)
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8" by 8" baking pan
with cooking spray.
2. 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.
3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla and beat to combine. Add 1/3 cup of
the sugar substitute and beat until stiff peaks form.
4. Sift 2 tablespoons of the flour over beaten egg whites and gently
fold to incorporate. Repeat twice with remaining flour until all of
the flour is incorporated.
5. 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.
6. In a small bowl, combine ricotta, whipped topping, remaining
2 teaspoons sugar substitute, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.
Cut cake in half vertically down the middle to make two 4" by 8" pieces.
Place the halves on a flat work surface. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of
espresso onto each half. Spread half of the ricotta mixture onto one
of the halves and dust with half of the cocoa powder.
7. 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 and serve with mint leaves
for garnish, if using.
