Preparation and cooking overview
This keto dessert is a breeze to prepare: just blend almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt with wet ingredients into a smooth batter. Microwave the batter to create two cake layers, then assemble tiramisu with coffee-soaked layers, creamy filling, and a cocoa powder finish. Simple and delicious!
Chef's note
Remember that using almond flour means the texture will differ from the classic version, but the taste is just as delightful. For a more robust coffee kick, opt for a stronger brew.

Chef's pro tip
Be cautious with the espresso! Over-soaking can make your tiramisu too soggy. Gently pour, let the layers absorb the espresso, then see if they need a bit more. Remember, the longer it chills in the fridge, the better the flavors blend together. Aim for at least 2 hours of rest time, but feel free to extend it for an even richer taste.
