Ingredients

• 6 large eggs, separated
• 1 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
• 1 ½ cups mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup cold brew coffee, unsweetened
• 2 tablespoons rum extract
• 1 package of keto-friendly ladyfingers
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks with monk fruit sweetener until pale and creamy. Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
3. In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to create a light and fluffy filling.
4. In a shallow dish, mix cold brew coffee with rum extract. Dip keto-friendly ladyfingers into the coffee mixture and layer them in the bottom of a glass baking dish.
5. Spoon half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with a dusting of ground cinnamon.
6. Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the filling. Spoon the remaining mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and smooth it out. Dust with cocoa powder for the finishing touch.
7. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy the Latin twist on this classic Italian dessert!
