How to Make Low Fat Tiramisu

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 22cm springform pan.
  2. In a small bowl, beat 3 large eggs with an electric mixer until thick and pale yellow.
  3. Gradually add 100g granulated sugar, beating until fully dissolved and the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together 150g plain flour, 50g self-raising flour, and 1 tsp baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cake is baking, sprinkle 7g powdered gelatin over 50ml cold water in a small heatproof bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  8. Place the bowl in a pan of simmering water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
  9. In a food processor, combine 500g ricotta cheese, 100ml milk, and 25g granulated sugar. Blend until smooth.
  10. With the motor running, slowly pour in the cooled gelatin mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
  11. In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 tbsp instant coffee granules in 100ml boiling water. Add 50ml milk and 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional). Stir well.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, slice it horizontally into two even layers.
  13. Place the bottom layer of cake back into the springform pan.
  14. Brush half of the coffee mixture over the cake layer.
  15. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the coffee-soaked cake layer.
  16. Repeat layers with the remaining cake, coffee mixture, and ricotta mixture.
  17. Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  18. Before serving, sprinkle generously with 25g grated dark chocolate.
