Ingredients
Unsalted butter, as needed
4 oz ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 large eggs
1/2 cup Splenda
1 tsp vanilla extract
=== MASCARPONE MIXTURE ===
5 eggs
5 tbsp Splenda
1 container mascarpone - (16 oz)
=== COFFEE MIXTURE ===
1/2 cup strong coffee
3 tbsp rum
1/2 cup cocoa, for sprinkling
Directions
Grease a 15- by 10- by 1-inch pan with butter. Line with parchment paper
and grease with butter again. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the almonds, baking powder and salt. Separate the 6 eggs. With an
electric mixer, beat the yolks and Splenda with an electric mixer until
thick and lemon colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Fold in the
almonds.
With a clean bowl and beaters, beat the egg whites to firm peaks. Stir 1/4
into the almond mixture. Fold in 1/2 of the remaining whites until barely
combined and then the remaining 1/2 until thoroughly combined. Spread
evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the top
springs back when pressed lightly. Let cool.
Separate the 5 eggs. Beat the yolks with the Splenda until thick and lemon
colored. Add the mascarpone and beat it into the yolk mixture on low
speed, scraping down the bowl. Do not overbeat or the mixture will curdle.
With clean bowl and beaters, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Stir 1/4
into the mascarpone mixture. Fold in the remaining 3/4. Choose a large
straight-sided dish, such as a soufflé dish to assemble the Tiramsu in.
Cut the almond cake into 16 fingers by cutting in half crosswise, then
lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 8 fingers. Combine the rum and
coffee in a shallow dish. Place the cocoa in a sieve over a bowl.
Sprinkle the bottom of the dish lightly with cocoa. Quickly dip a few of
the fingers into the coffee mixture and line the bottom of the dish. Do
not get them too wet or your tiramisu will be runny. Spread on 1/4 of the
mascarpone mixture and dust the top with cocoa. Repeat the process 2 to 3
times so you have 3 to 4 layers. End with a sprinkling of cocoa. Cover
and refrigerate overnight.

Types of dietThe Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition and weightloss system is based around the gi index, a chart showing food types and a score illustrating the speed with which the carbohydrates in the food gets transformed to sugar in the dieters bloodstream. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie those foods with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and help you to eat less food without starving yourself. It is also beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in managing rises in glucose secretion. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet created by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that one should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed his weight loss system for people who have cardiac problems, based on his detailed analysis of scientific data completed on other diets. Good foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, prawns, fat-free cheeses, peanuts, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like asparagus, celery and mushrooms. |
