find out "What are your favourite traditional foods?"
Tiramisu 3 years ago

Thanks for the invite… I’ve just joined ‘weight watchers’ and now you want me to think of my favourite foods. There are so many mmmmmmm… where to begin. A recent habit has been indulging in deliscious Tiramisu, usually for a Saturday/Sunday night treat, it’s no wonder I joined ‘WW’ What on earth will I replace this with?.. little fruit jellies are just not quite the same. Suggestions welcome.

Love Tiramisu

Well, I love Tiramisu so much, that I just could not give it up when I lost my weight. So I found, to my delight, a low fat version. It is WONDERFUL. If you want the recipe I can post it here for you. Let me know. You need to have some beautiful things when you are dieting – it keeps you going and sane….....

Tiramisu

Yes please, I would appreciate it if you would let me have the low fat version. Need a break from the fruit jellies and yoghurt just does not feel like a dessert anymore. I believe merinque nests are low in points so I will be adding these to my treats list. My first weigh-in was only 4 days after beginning the diet program properly and surprise.. surprise… I had lost 1½lbs. Not much, but as I had reservations about the points system, am quite happy wo will persevere with this, in fact I am quite enjoying the change from my bad eating habit…

Well done..............

Always a bonus to lose SOME weight every week. Anyway delighted to give you my fave recipe for Tiramisu…..(only 6.5g fat per serve as opposed to 56g fat)

300g french vanilla light fruche
200g fresh ricotta
1 egg
2 tbs caster sugar
250mls boiling water
3 tsp instant coffee granules
1/3 cup marsala
1 200g pkt sponge fingers (savoiardi)
2 tsp cocoa powder to dust

Place the fruche, ricotta, egg and sugar in a medium mixing bowl and use electric beaters to whisk for 1-2 minutes or until sugar dissolves.

Combine the water and coffee then marsala in a jug. Pour 1/2 into a small bowl. Dip 1 sponge finger at a time into the bowl of coffee mixture, then place in a single layer to cover the base of a 19×25 serving dish. Brush any coffee mixture remaining in the bowl over layer of sponge fingers. Refill bowl with the remaining coffee mixture.

Spread 1/2 the fruche mixture evenly over the layer of sponge fingers. Repeat to make one more layer with the remaining sponge fingers and coffee mixture, then top with the remaining fruche mixture. Smooth the surface with the back of a large metal spoon.

Dust evenly with the cocoa powder. Cover and place in fridge for at least 4 hours for the flavours to develop and sponge fingers to soften before serving.

Enjoy Lorraine – this is just so beautiful….................
