LOW FAT, GUILT FREE TIRAMISU



INGREDIENTS:
1 & and, 1/2 cups of strong black coffee (I usually add a few tbsps of hot choc powder to the coffee)
2 tbsp of Frangelico
2 egg whites
1 cup of low fat (light/ diet/ reduced fat) custard
350g low-fat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup of icing sugar, sieved
250g savoiardi/ sponge finger biscuits
garnish with grated chocolate or 2 tbsp of cocoa powder



    Questo è Come Noi Lo Facciamo (this is how we do it)....

    1. Combine the coffee and Frangelico (+ hot choc mix) and set aside to cool.
    2. Beat the egg whites to soft peaks using an electric beater.
    3. In a separate bowl beat together the custard, icing sugar and ricotta until smooth and creamy.
    4. Fold the egg whites into the custard mixture, be careful not to knock all the air out of the eggs, you want to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
    5. To assemble the tiramisu, use a round or rectangle dish about 6cm deep and 18cm square or 18ch diameter.
    6. My method is to place half the biscuits on the base of the dish and ladle over half of the coffee mixture 
    7. Follow by pouring over half of the ricotta mixture.
    8. Repeat the process, laying down the biscuits, ladle over the coffee and smooth over the remaining ricotta mixture.
    9. Finish off the tiramisu by grating over some white or milk chocolate (just a smidgen, this is meant to be low fat) or cocoa powder.
    Lei può mangiarlo tutto, well, I definitely could :)
