No Flour Tiramisu Keto Sheet Cake Recipe
Tiramisu owes it creamy coffee texture to the velvety smooth milky-white mascarpone cheese.
An Italian classic that originates from the Lombardy region of the country, this cheese with its high butterfat content has been used for centuries instead or butter or Parmesan cheese to thicken and enrich risotto.
The texture varies greatly from soft like crème fraîche to more stiff, like butter, depending on how it is handled during the cheese making process.
If you’re making Mascarpone at home, you will need a quart of minimally processed cream and a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice which denatures the milk, releasing whey.
You also need a cheesecloth, a strainer, a double boiler, and a reliable thermometer.
If you do not have a double boiler, you can make one by positioning a metal or heat-proof glass bowl over a saucepan filled with water.
The finished product should smell like a mix of cream and milk.
