    This keto strawberry tiramisu is a simple dessert that is perfect for summer. Layers of low carb sponge cake, strawberries and mascarpone makes a creamy dessert you will love.

    If you are looking for an easy strawberry low carb dessert, then give this a try. We love tiramisu and what’s not to love about it? Layers of cream and sponge with great strong flavours. I’ve made tiramisu versions of cupcake and cheesecake, but this time have created a summer version with strawberries.

    I feel that I am a bit fast and loose with calling this a strawberry tiramisu as there’s no alcohol or coffee in it. I did ponder upon called this a trifle as it’s layers of strawberries, sponge and cream. I prefer a tiramisu over a trifle, so tiramisu it is!
    This strawberry tiramisu is better the next day. The cream and layers set, and the flavours develop. I made the fatal error of going out for “shenigans” with my friends and leaving the half eaten strawberry tiramisu with the Chief Taster for the night. I never saw it again. He says he gave it a good home.

    TIRAMISU TIPS

    • I used coconut flour for the sponge layer, but you could use almond flour instead. Use 2 cups of almond flour for the sponge recipe in place of the coconut flour.
    • The tin for the sponge was an 8inch square brownie baking tin. Any shaped cake tin will do as you are going to cut it after it is baked.
    • Rather than assemble the tiramisu in a serving dish, how about individual glasses?
    • Adding alcohol is up to you. I haven’t in this strawberry tiramisu recipe, but a sprinkle of white rum would not be a bad choice.
    • Try this with a low carb chocolate cake for a delicious twist

    HOW TO MAKE A STRAWBERRY TIRAMISU

    • Make Strawberry sauce
    • Whip cream mixture
    • Bake vanilla cake
    • Cut cake into strips
    • Bottom layer of sauce
    • Add sponges
    • Cover with cream & strawberries
    • Repeat layers

    I do have a confession about this recipe. When I first made it, I accidentally used ricotta instead of mascarpone. There was a tub of each in the same drawer in the fridge. I was probably talking to one of the cats or dogs as I reached in for the tub and never checked it. It tasted okay, I never told the Chief Taster and he scoffed it happily. I found it better the next day though. Feel free to give it a try!

      What is the total carbs, not net. I do not track my carbs by net rather by total. This looks delicious and would love to try and share!

      Thank you so much for this recipe. This tastes excellent, and everyone who ate it really liked it even though it wasn’t made with processed ingredients which they are all used to eating. I was worried I was making it wrong because I was confused by the layering directions. If you feel like editing you could say place 1/2 of the sauce in the bottom of the serving dish, then layer 1/2 of the sponge fingers on top. Cover with half the cream layer etc. Or maybe it’s supposed to be layered three times. I don’t know. Two layers worked for me. Also, I didn’t see the rum suggestion until it was too late. That sounds great, and I’ll add it next time. Maybe you could put it in the ingredient list with the sauce and put (optional) by it. Thanks again! And I’m jealous that you live in St. Lucia. Sounds amazing.

      Can the sponge be made with a low-carb sweetener other than erythritol? My husband is intolerant; even tiny amounts cause digestive distress. I'm sure I can work around the sauce, but I'm not confident in my ability to substitute on the cake.

        Yes it can. Any low carb sweetener will be fine.

        You might need some careful layering. Perhaps assemble it in a springform tin and leave overnight?

      Hi I’m in the process of making this recipe, I’ve followed all instructions carefully for the vanilla sponge and I just wanted to know if my cake batter is suppose to appear slightly grainy in texture? I added water to the mixture as it was stiff.

      Many Thanks

      This looks delicious. Just curious about the amount of strawberries. It says 1 cup strawberries, chopped. By that, do you mean measure whole strawberries to a cup and then chop that amount? Or do you mean 1 cup of chopped strawberries. Same for the sliced? It seems that the amounts would be quite a bit different depending on how you read and process it. Just want to make sure I get the carbs correct. Thank you for a wonderful recipe that I can't wait to try!

        The cup is of sliced strawberries. I slice/chop then measure them first.

      Hi there,
      You mention to use 2 cups of almond flour for the sponge recipe in place of 1/2 cup coconut flour. Is this a correct amount?

      Reply

        July 16, 2019 at 7:55 am

        Yes as coconut flour only needs a smaller amount.
