Diet tiramisu

40 minutes
Diet tiramisu is an exquisite dessert with a light texture and rich flavor, inspired by the classic Italian recipe. It retains the traditional layers of coffee-soaked cookies and creamy filling but uses airy cottage cheese cream instead of mascarpone and low-calorie alternatives for sugar. It features rich coffee notes accented with vanilla and a hint of rum, creating a refined flavor combination. This dessert is perfect for those who want to enjoy the famous Italian treat without extra calories. It pairs wonderfully with morning coffee or a light dinner, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. Chilled tiramisu becomes especially refreshing, and the cocoa powder dusted on top adds a finishing touch of flavor and aesthetic elegance.
1
First, make the cookies. Separate the yolks from the whites. Beat the yolks with sweetener, flour, starch, and water. Whip the whites with a pinch of salt until thick and firm foam forms. Gently combine the two mixtures and pour into a mold.
- Chicken egg: 2 pieces
- Oat bran: 2 tablespoons
- Cornstarch: 0.5 tablespoon
- Water: 2 tablespoons
2
Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove, cut into long cookies, and let cool.

Next is the soaking. Mix coffee with cognac or rum. It can also be made without alcohol or using any syrup or liqueur. However, cognac adds a very interesting and fitting nuance, and there's very little of it.

Whip the cottage cheese with a little milk, vanilla, and sweetener using a mixer until it has an airy consistency.

Assemble the dessert. Dip the first half of the cookies in coffee and place them on a plate or in any convenient shape.
