Tiramisini - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 7 tablespoons espresso or strong instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
- 4 savoiardi cookies ( ladyfingers)
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup mascarpone
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons marsala
- Approx. 1 teaspoon good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions

Scrape the mascarpone into another bowl, adding the honey; I love the way its mellow sweetness marries with the marsala, though sugar would be fine too. Beat with the electric hand mixer (no need to clean it first) and, when smooth, slowly beat in the marsala. Fold in the egg whites, a third at a time, then dollop this mixture over the soused savoiardi in each glass, using a spoon to whirl it into a swirly peak at the top. Let these stand in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes and up to 24 hours, then dust with cocoa, pushing it through a fine-mesh strainer, just before serving.
