Sugar-Free Tiramisu Mousse
Sugar-Free Tiramisu Mousse
Low carb • Sugar-free tiramisu mousse — 10 minutes, four glasses
This is sugar-free tiramisu mousse, not a bakery slice. Mascarpone and whipped cream layer with coffee and cocoa in a glass, then a cocoa dust on top, like the photo. Ten minutes, plus a short chill. No sugar, no ladyfingers.
Four glasses. Chill at least 20 minutes so the layers set.
Why you'll love this mousse
- 3g protein per glass — mascarpone and cream
- 4g net carbs — cocoa and coffee, not ladyfingers
- About 10 minutes to assemble
- Cream layers, cocoa dust, like the photo
- No boxed mix, no sugar
- The layers hold after a short chill
Health notes
- Protein: Mascarpone and cream carry the glass.
- Lower carb than classic tiramisu: No sponge. Close to keto at 4g net.
- Four glasses: Macros are per glass, cocoa included.
- Ladyfingers or sugar will jump the carbs. Keep the cocoa measured.
Key element — fold, then layer
A runny glass was overmixed. Fold the mascarpone into the cream, layer with cocoa, and dust the top, like the photo.
Ingredients
Mousse (4 glasses)
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 1/2 cup mascarpone, softened
- 3 Tbsp allulose
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp strong coffee, cooled
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, plus extra to dust
- Pinch of salt
Swaps
- Cream cheese: Use it if you have no mascarpone.
- Decaf: Same method if you want no caffeine.
- Ladyfingers or sugar: Skip them. That is how carbs jump.
Instructions
| 1 | Whip. Whip the cold cream to soft peaks. |
| 2 | Base. Stir mascarpone, allulose, vanilla, coffee, and salt until smooth. |
| 3 | Fold. Fold the cream into the mascarpone. Do not beat it flat. |
| 4 | Layer. Spoon cream into 4 glasses. Dust a little cocoa between layers, like the photo. |
| 5 | Finish. Top with more cream and a cocoa dust. Chill 20 minutes. One glass is one serving. |
Pro tips
- Cold cream whips. Warm cream stays loose.
- Fold, do not stir hard, or the mousse deflates.
- A thin cocoa line between layers matches the glass.
- Dust the top right before serving so it stays dry.
- No ladyfingers. That is what keeps the carbs down.
