The Best Ketomisu!!

The Best Ketomisu from LowCarbYum.com

 

Low Carb Tiramisu Made with Almond Flour – Gluten Free -Keto – Full of Flavour & Taste

Delicious low carb tiramisu that’s also gluten free. The cake layer is made using almond flour and the dessert is sweetened with stevia and monk fruit sweetner (next time I would half the sweetner because it bordered on too sweet for me.)

I’ve been on a low carb/keto phase for about two or three weeks. Mostly as a personal challenge to flex my creative muscle by finding new tasty recipes that I love and can substitute the high carb or sugar content. And this one hits the mark fo’ sure!!

I received something like 10 messages on Instagram and Facebook for the recipe so here’s how it all went down. Enjoy! And if you make it tag me and send a pic!

Ingredients

Cake:

  • Unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol, Swerve ( I used Monk Fruit and would half the recipe for it everywhere)
  • 1/8 teaspoon stevia extract powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (didn’t have any and tasted plenty almond-y because of the batter)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar (I didn’t have any so I used lemon juice)

Custard:

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 Tablespoon powdered erythritol or Swerve or Monk Fruit
  • 1/8 teaspoon stevia
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese (I used a whole small container think it was 480)
  • 1 3/4 cups heavy or whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon coffee extract optional ( I didn’t have any and tasted amazing without it)
  • 1/4 cup strong coffee or espresso
  • 1-2 Tablespoons rum or whiskey (I only had rhum cream left so that was my poison of choice.)

Instructions

Cake:

  1. Grease a 11×7 inch pan with butter. Line with parchment paper and grease with butter again. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Combine the almond flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. Separate the eggs. With an electric mixer, beat the yolks and sweeteners until thick and lemon colored. Beat in the vanilla, almond extract and cream of tartar. Fold in the almond flour.

  4. With a clean bowl and beaters, beat the egg whites to firm peaks. Stir 1/4 into the almond mixture. Fold in 1/2 of the remaining whites until barely combined and then the remaining 1/2 until thoroughly combined. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top springs back when pressed lightly. Let cool.

Custard:

  1. In small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks, erythritol, monk fruit and stevia until thick and lemon colored.
  2. Place mixture in top of a double boiler over boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add mascarpone cheese, beating well.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, beat heavy or whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into egg yolk mixture. Add vanilla and or coffee extract if desired. Set aside.

    Assembly:

    • Cut the almond cake into 16 fingers.
    • Combine the rum and espresso in a small bowl.
    • Sprinkle the bottom of a 9×5 bread pan lightly with cocoa then line with half the almond cake fingers.
    • Using a brush, lightly coat the cake fingers with the espresso mix being careful not to get them too wet. Spread on 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture and dust the top with cocoa. Repeat the layers. End with a sprinkling of cocoa.
    • Cover and refrigerate overnight. ( I certainly did not wait overnight, but the flavours definitely settled nicely when I had some this morning 🙂

"Bootcamp In The Comfort of My Back Yard."


 

"I had no idea such drastic body changes could happen without stepping foot inside a gym. Karie showed me how to work and tone every muscle group in the comfort and privacy of my own backyard throughout the summer. She is worth every penny. I feel awesome!"

Fay Matthews from Toronto

"I lost 7 pounds, & 4.2 inches in 4 weeks!"


 

"I really enjoyed the short intense workouts. After the first session I didn’t think that I would have been able to keep up but as the weeks passed I amazed myself or should I say my body amazed me.

I feel stronger, healthier and more confident that I am capable of doing things I never thought I could do....like pushups!!! I liked the variety of exercises used that involved a lot of core strength and also the cardio circuits.

Karie, you were very patient and always willing to assist and guide us. You made every session brutal but also enjoyable and a wonderful learning experience."

"Worth Every Penny!"


 

"When I first contacted Karie four and a half months ago I was concerned about the cost of personal trainers, I just wasn't sure if it would be worth the money.

I can happily say it's worth every penny and then some!

In fact, after seeing and feeling the results I truly believe it's worth far more than what it costs! There has never been a workout with Karie that I walked away thinking I didn't get what I had paid for.

I am now in better shape than I've ever been in my life and I can chase around my two year old like no body's business! :)"

Chris R. from Toronto

"I Weigh What I Did In University!"


 

"With my wedding coming up in May I knew I wanted to get myself into shape. I had heard about Karie from a friend and decided to give it a shot. Her training methods are unlike anything I had ever experienced. She truly caters your workouts to not only your body type, but also to the goals you would like to accomplish.

Three months later I now weigh what I weighed in University (eight years ago!) - I thought that would never happen again and I really feel great. I will never go to another trainer; I am sticking with The Fitness Girl!"

"Even My Husband Noticed My New Body!"


 

"I've been working out with Karie for about a year and a half now... the first time I’ve stuck with an exercise program this long!

Karie has an infectious and magnetic personality!

She's extremely, knowledgeable and careful about form and safety.

She has encouraged me to push myself further than I had ever done on my own (believe me!).

I feel stronger and better than ever before and add the fact that my husband always comments how great I look!"

Jenn B. from Downtown Toronto

"I Signed Up That Same Week!"


 

"The same week that I had my consultation I contacted Karie and set up my first work out session with her.

After my first appointment with Karie I was quite sore the following day even though she didn’t push me too hard as she was only assessing my fitness level.

I continued to see Karie for another four sessions; once those were used up I decided that I wanted to continue working with her as I was getting great results.

Seeing Karie saves me time and money because the workouts are so efficent. I get better results because I now have to right tools."

Mary S. from Toronto

"I Lost 25 Pounds And Gained A Healthy Lifestyle!"


 

"A few days before my first session my trainer called me and asked me what my goals, eating habits and exercise habits were.

My workouts were awesome!

I was inspired by everyone else in the group. The support and motivation is unbelievable.

After sitting down with Karie and going over nutrition, I finally realized that proper nutrition and exercise habits are the golden "keys" to weight loss.

I have lost 25 lbs and gained a healthy lifestyle!"

Josee Gagnon, Project Manager in Toronto

"After my initial visits with Karie, I now understand why people see a trainer. It's not just for extra motivation, but for increasing strength and changing your routine.

There are certain exercises I would have never done by myself, like push ups, pull ups, chin ups and dips. The feeling I got after completing these exercises was great! With some, I started by being able to do only one rep, but every time she pushed me a little more. I got a great feeling of accomplishment after each session.

I get far better results with 3 half hour sessions a week, and realized I don’t need to spend 3 hours at the gym -all this coming from a girl who used to be addicted to the gym 5-6 days a week for 2 to 3 hours at a time...

I recommend training with Karie to anyone, regardless of your fitness level, the results are amazing! And hey Karie being a Thai massage practitioner, throws in a little rub down after an extremely hard workout to make sure those muscles aren’t too sore, who could ask for more!"

I'm Sleeping Better Finally!


 

"The Fitness Girl experience has been wonderful! I used to go to a chiropractor for lower back and leg pain, but since I have been working out with Karie, it is completely gone.

With the help of my trainer, I learned exercises that strengthened my lower back and I am so grateful because the pain used to interfere with my sleep at night."
