Prepare Tiramisu Ingredients
In a medium metal or glass bowl combine egg yolks (or whole egg powder) and allulose. Place the bowl over a small pot of simmering water. Whisk the egg yolk mixture for 10 minutes, the mixture should be thickened and a pale yellow color.
Â
(Chef’s Note: the egg yolks should be slowly warmed over water, as it gently cooks the raw yolks without causing them to curdle.)
Â
Allow the egg yolk mixture to cool down slightly, then add in the mascarpone. Whisk until combined.
Â
In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Optionally flavor with espresso flavor drops.
