Tiramisu Cottage Cheese and Yoghurt Ice-Cream

Tiramisu Cottage Cheese and Yoghurt Ice-Cream

I’ve dabbled with using frozen fruits, yoghurts and varying cheeses as base alternatives to the usually high fat and sometimes not even dairy ice-cream in the past.

So I decided to combine my favourite dessert, Tiramisu, with my 3 go to ice-cream alternative products.

After a bit of trial and error I landed on banana for the fruit (unsurprisingly), natural yoghurt (not Greek, this won’t work with the flavour mix) and cottage cheese (Ricotta was a close second).

The outcome – this recipe is a must for all Tiramisu lovers that want to indulge but want low fat. In fact, apart from a little chocolate and sugar this recipe is natural, satisfying and super healthy.

Ingredients:

  • 4 Bananas, frozen (300g flesh)
  • 3 + ½ tsn coffee granules
  • 20ml water
  • 60g low fat cottage cheese
  • 140g natural low fat yoghurt
  • 85ml Masala
  • 60g icing sugar
  • generous pinch of salt
  • 70g white chocolate
  • 30g dark (70%) chocolate, finely chopped

 

Method:

  1. Place the bananas in the microwave until just slightly softened.
  2. Peel the banana’s and place in a bowl.
  3. Boil the water and add the coffee granules, stir. Set aside to cool.
  4. Add the banana, coffee, cheese, yoghurt, Masala, sugar and salt into a food processor and blitz until combine.
  5. Melt the while chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave in 30 second bursts until just melted.
  6. Pour the while chocolate into the mix and blitz again until well combine.
  7. Add the dark chocolate and stir until combine.
  8. Pour the mix into a bowl and place in the freezer for 4 hours to set completely.
  9. When ready to serve take the ice-cream out of the freezer, scoop and enjoy.

Frangelico Chocolate Hazelnut Tiramisu

Frangelico Chocolate Hazelnut Tiramisu

Frangelico Chocolate Hazelnut Tiramisu recipe

I’m a massive massive fan or Tiramisu, it’s my all-time favorite dessert.

So earlier today, when I was feeling really creative I decided to do a whole range of different tiramisus with a variation of different flavor combinations. I figured if I could make a tiramisu that I really liked and found interesting it would have to be pretty amazing.

I made 10 different variations of flavour combo’s that I experimented with, while still sticking to the fundamentals of the dessert and not opting too far away.

Out of all the variations I created only one that was really a standout to the point that I kept going back for more.

I’m not saying this recipe is as good as my mother’s traditional tiramisu (which is the best dessert I have ever eaten in my life), however it is a scrumptious hazelnut alternative (instead of marsala as the base flavour).

For extra hazelnut flavour in this recipe I used liquor, spread and hazelnuts for that much needed texture crunch.

As usual, to make this more baking-friendly I have simplified the traditional method down to a few less steps without impacting the quality or taste.

Frangelico Chocolate Hazelnut Tiramisu recipe

Ingredients:
  • 3 tbsn instant coffee
  • 140ml hot water
  • 220ml Frangelico (or any other hazelnut liquor)
  • 3 eggs
  • 120g sugar
  • 600g mascarpone cheese
  • 300g Nutella (or any other hazelnut spread)
  • 200g savoiardi biscuits
  • 100g hazelnuts

 

Method:

  1. Combine the water and coffee granules and stir until dissolved.
  2. Add 180ml of the Frangelico and stir into the coffee, leave aside for later.
  3. Separate the eggs with the whites in a bowl and the yolks into another.
  4. Add the sugar to the yolk bowl and using electric beaters whisk for 5 minutes or until light and creamy.
  5. Add the remaining Frangelico and mascarpone cheese and beat until combine on low speed.
  6. Clean beaters and beat the egg whites until peaks form.
  7. Fold the egg whites and Nutella into the cheese mix until just combine.
  8. Dip a biscuit into the coffee mix for a second on each side. Place biscuits in the base of a 20 x 20 cm baking tray.
  9. Repeat dipping the biscuits and placing into the tray until you have used half the biscuits.
  10. Chop up the hazelnuts into rough small pieces and sprinkle half on top of the cheese mix.
  11. Top nuts with half the cheese mix and spread to allow for an even cover.
  12. Repeat the biscuits being dipped and placed on top of the cheese mix until all the biscuits are used up.
  13. Sprinkle remaining nuts.
  14. Top the nut layer with the remaining cheese mix and spread to allow for an even cover.
  15. Place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
  16. Serve with grated chocolate, cocoa powder or a sprinkle of extra chopped hazelnuts and enjoy.
