How to Make Cherry Almond Tiramisu Lower Sugar

  1. In a metal bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup Splenda until pale yellow and thick (this may take a few minutes).
  2. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Reduce heat to low.
  3. Cook, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, beat in 16 ounces mascarpone cheese until smooth. Gently fold in 2 cups whipped heavy cream and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 cup Amaretto with 1/2 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee.
  7. Line the bottom of a 3-quart casserole dish with half of a package (approximately 24) ladyfingers, brushing each with the Amaretto coffee mixture.
  8. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  9. Top with 1 1/2 cups pitted fresh or frozen cherries.
  10. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and cherries.
  11. Top with the remaining whipped cream (about 1/2 cup), and sprinkle with 1/4 cup slivered almonds.
  12. Garnish with a few extra cherries, if desired.
  13. Chill for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Slice and serve!
