Directions

Directions

  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the almond flour for 3 minutes or until golden, stirring often to avoid burning.

  2. In a small bowl, mix the toasted almond flour, 1 1/2 tbsp of the erythritol, cinnamon and salt. Add the espresso and stir. Divide between 6 serving glasses (about 1 heaping tablespoon each).

  3. In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with the mascarpone, remaining 1/4 cup erythritol, rum, orange zest and vanilla. Spoon about 1/3 cup on top of the coffee-almond base in each of the serving glasses. Dust each tiramisu lightly with cocoa powder just before serving.
