Ingredients
Churro Layer
-
1 package Sonora Keto Churro Mix
-
3/4 cup water
-
Coconut oil, for frying
-
Allulose, for dusting
-
1/2 cup sugar-free coffee liqueur
Mascarpone Cream
-
16 oz mascarpone cheese
-
2 tbsp allulose (or preferred sweetener)
-
1/2 tsp stevia sweetener (or to taste)
-
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
A pinch of salt
-
1 tbsp instant coffee powder (for topping)
Directions
Prepare the churro batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the Sonora Keto Churro Mix with the water and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Fry the churros: Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pipe or spoon small pieces of churro batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Dust and cool: While still warm, lightly dust churro pieces with allulose. Allow them to cool completely.
Make the mascarpone cream: In a separate bowl, whip the mascarpone with allulose, stevia, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until light, smooth, and fluffy.
Soak the churros: Place the cooled churro pieces in a shallow dish and pour the sugar-free coffee liqueur over them. Let them soak until they absorb the liquid and become soft but not mushy.
Assemble the dessert cups: Add a layer of soaked churros to the bottom of each dessert cup.
- Spoon a layer of mascarpone cream on top.
- Repeat with another churro layer and finish with more mascarpone.
Finish and garnish: Dust the tops with instant coffee powder. Garnish each cup with a whole churro piece, if desired.
Recipe Note
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes! Keto Churro Tiramisu Cups actually get better after a few hours in the refrigerator. You can prepare them up to 24 hours in advance, but add the final churro garnish just before serving to keep it crisp.
2. What can I use instead of sugar-free coffee liqueur?
If you'd prefer a non-alcoholic option, you can replace the liqueur with a mixture of strong brewed coffee or espresso plus a splash of vanilla extract or sugar-free coffee syrup. The flavor will still be delicious and tiramisu-like.
3. Can I use a different sweetener?
Absolutely. Allulose and stevia work well because they blend smoothly and don’t crystallize, but you can substitute monk fruit, erythritol blends, or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener. Adjust to taste, as sweetness levels vary between brands.
