Tiramisu

This is a toaster oven recipe, made in a 5x8 glass dish to fit my convection oven. Serves 4. You can multiply this dish as needed to make more servings to to make a full size cake pan recipe (if done with cake rounds, I'd recommend making 3 layers).

Cake::

4 eggs
1 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp coconut milk powder
4 tbsp coconut flour (or you can use oat flour)
1 tsp instant coffee
4 packets Truvia sweetener
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sliced almonds, crushed

Filling::

1/2 cup lowfat ricotta cheese
Vanilla flavored Stevia drops

Topping::

1/2 cup strong brewed coffee with 10 drops of Stevia (English Toffee flavored) and 1 tbsp instant coffee mixed in.
1 tsp cocoa powder
fat-free whipped topping

Directions:

Blend all the cake ingredients together and pour into 2 shallow pans (or you can use 1 pan but you will have to cut the finished cake in half to layer it). Top batter with 1 tbsp crushed sliced almonds.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350.
Let cake cool.
Blend 1 cup lowfat ricotta cheese (or you can use mascarpone if you can find a lowfat version) with 8-10 drops vanilla flavored Stevia drops. You can also use 5 packets of Truvia plus 1 tsp vanilla extract for the filling.
Mix the strong brewed coffee with stevia drops.
Assemble: Place cake sliced in the bottom of a bowl then drizzle with 1/2 the sweetened coffee. Put a layer of sweetened ricotta cheese on the top. Place 2nd cake layer over that, then pour the coffee over the top. Top with ff whipped topping and a sprinkling of cocoa powder.

Note: I made this with Truvia & Stevia drops since it's easier for most people to get. I think it would be better though, using Just Like Sugar as the sweetener. You can also use just Truvia (sweeten the filling and the coffee with almond or vanilla extra).
