Keto Tiramisu Cookies
Espresso cookies topped with fluffy mascarpone frosting and finished with a light dusting of cocoa powder. These gluten-free, sugar-free tiramisu cookies have all the classic look and feel of tiramisu in an easy cookie format.
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons powdered espresso
Toppings:
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese room temperature
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sweetener: Beat the butter and powdered sweetener together until smooth and creamy.
- Add wet ingredients: Beat in the egg yolk, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Mix in dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, coconut flour, and espresso powder and beat until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Shape the dough: Place the dough onto plastic wrap and shape into a log about 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Wrap tightly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the dough until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Slice and bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the dough into 16 rounds, about 3/8 inch thick. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set. Cool completely.
- Beat mascarpone: Add mascarpone to a mixing bowl and beat by itself until smooth and creamy.
- Sweeten the frosting: Add powdered sweetener and vanilla extract and beat again until combined.
- Add cream: Add the heavy cream 1/4 cup at a time, beating between additions, until thick and fluffy.
- Assemble: Pipe or spread frosting onto cooled cookies. Dust lightly with cocoa powder just before serving.
Notes
Flour swaps: Do not substitute flours. Almond flour and coconut flour work together to give these cookies the correct texture.
Chilling: Fully chilling the dough is essential for clean slices and prevents spreading.
Mascarpone: Beat mascarpone on its own first to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth frosting.
Cocoa topping: Dust a fresh coating of cocoa powder right before serving.
