Classic Tiramisu with Jaca

Classic Tiramisu with Jaca

A timeless Italian no-bake dessert combining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and a lightly sweetened mascarpone cream. All the conventional sugar is replaced with Jaca (allulose) at double the amount for a healthier take on this beloved classic. This is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version.

Prep Time: 45 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Servings: 12

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup very strongly prepared espresso, warm or room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons Grand Marnier (optional)
  • 40-45 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, cold
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 4 large pasteurized eggs, separated
  • 1 cup Jaca (allulose), divided (replaces 1/2 cup conventional sugar at 2x ratio)
  • 2 cups heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions:

— Whisk the espresso and Grand Marnier together in a shallow bowl. One at a time, quickly dip each side of half the ladyfingers into the espresso mixture — just a fast dunk on each side. Arrange in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form one solid layer.

— Beat the mascarpone and rum together on medium speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

— Using a double boiler, whisk the egg yolks and 1/2 cup Jaca (allulose) together until light and foamy, about 5 minutes. Pour into the mascarpone mixture and beat until combined.

— Beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until medium peaks form. Fold into the mascarpone mixture.

— Beat the egg whites and salt until foamy, then slowly pour in the remaining 1/2 cup Jaca (allulose). Beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into the mascarpone cream.

— Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers.

— Dip the remaining ladyfingers and arrange on top. Spread the remaining mascarpone cream over them.

— Refrigerate uncovered for 2-3 hours, then dust with cocoa powder. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

— Slice with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts. Serve chilled.

This is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version of classic tiramisu — all the indulgent flavor without conventional sugar.
