DESSERT-TIRAMISU(click here to print)

 TIRAMISU





1 1.2 cups mascarpone cheese(or cream cheese)softened
1 1/2 cups artificial sweetener(I use 2 or 3 packets of sweetener as I don't like things that sweet)
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 tsp. plain gelatin
1/2 tsp. hot water
1 8oz. pound cake, sliced(see recipes below)
1 cup strong coffee
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

with mixer at medium, cream together the mascarpone cheese, artificial sweetener, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat 2 cups of heavy whipping cream until peaks form.  Have your bowl and beaters cold.  set aside

In a separate bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the hot water. Pour 1 cup of the heavy cream mixture at a time into the gelatin mix and stir until well blended. This is called tempering.

Place a slice of low carb pound cake on the bottom of a 10 inch nonstick glass bowl (or spray bowl with a little pam if you like)

soak pound cake with the coffee.  Don't let it turn to mush.  Only add enough coffee to make it barely wet.
using the rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Mix until well blended.

using a rubber spatula spread the combined mixture evenly on the pound cake. Then sprinkle the cocoa on top.
Tip:  to make this is a 13 x 9 inch pan, simply double the recipe
Place in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours before serving.
