Instructions
Step 1
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a mixing bowl, combine the yolks, corn flour, rice flour, and vanilla.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sweetener, whisking continuously until well combined.
Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture until fully incorporated. Using a piping bag, pipe the batter onto a baking tray lined with a silicone mat, forming classic savoiardi shapes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
Step 2
While the savoiardi cools, whip together the cream cheese, cottage cheese, and desired amount of topinambur syrup until fluffy and well-mixed. Set aside.
Step 3
In a saucepan, mix together the eggs, lemon juice, and erythritol. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously.
Once it starts to thicken, mix in the corn starch and continue stirring until fully thickened. Remove from heat and add the coconut oil, stirring until smooth with minimal lumps.
Let the custard cool, then cover it with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Step 4
Once the savoiardi has cooled, dip each piece in fresh lemon juice quickly before assembling. In a dish, alternate layers of the cream mixture and savoiardi, then add a layer of pureed lemon, followed by more cream and then the lemon custard.
Top the assembled tiramisu with lemon slices and refrigerate for several hours to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
Servings
When it comes to serving this beautiful dessert, **presentation matters**! Layer the tiramisu in a glass dish or individual cups for that **Instagram-worthy look**. The contrasting layers of cream and lemon curd will create a visual treat that tempts even the most discerning palate. You can garnish with fresh lemon slices 🍋 and a sprinkle of zest for an added pop of color.
For an **outdoor picnic**, slice this indulgent treat into squares and pack them in containers. It travels well, and the citrus flavor is sure to brighten up your meal! Pair it with chilled herbal tea or sparkling water for that refreshing experience. **Don’t forget to bring along a few napkins!** 😋
For an added touch, consider serving alongside **fresh berries** or a dollop of whipped coconut cream 🥥. The combination of flavors will make each bite unique and truly delightful. Your guests will leave raving about your excellent baking skills!
Equipment
A large baking sheet lined with a silicone mat is ideal for baking the ladyfingers. This prevents sticking and ensures even baking.

Using a stand or hand mixer makes whipping the egg whites much easier and achieves the needed fluffy consistency for the perfect tiramisu.
A pastry bag is essential for piping the ladyfingers with precision. If you don’t have one, a zip-lock bag with a corner cut off works as well!
A medium-sized saucepan for preparing the lemon curd is necessary. Make sure it has a heavy bottom to prevent burning.

Variations
If you're looking to adapt this recipe for different dietary needs, we’ve got you covered! For a gluten-free version, simply replace the standard flours with certified gluten-free alternatives. Almond flour can add a nice nuttiness too! 🌰
For those following a vegan lifestyle, substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg). You can also replace the cream cheese with a mixture of cashew cream or whipped coconut cream to keep it creamy! 🌿
Faq
- How do I know when the egg whites are whipped perfectly?
You want stiff peaks, which means when you lift the mixer, the egg whites should hold their shape without falling. This consistency will give your ladyfingers the right texture.
- Can I make the lemon tiramisu ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, it's even better when made a day in advance. Let it chill in the fridge for a few hours to enhance the flavors.
- What should I do if my lemon curd doesn't thicken?
Make sure to cook it on low heat and stir continuously. If it doesn't thicken after a few minutes, you can add a little bit more cornstarch mixed in water to adjust the consistency.
- Can I use store-bought ladyfingers instead of making them?
Yes, you can use store-bought ladyfingers if you are short on time! Just make sure they are sugar-free to keep with the theme.
- What if I don’t like lemon flavor?
You can easily swap the lemon for other flavors like orange or even berries for a different fruity twist!
- Can I freeze this dessert?
While it's best served fresh, you can freeze portions of this tiramisu. Just make sure to wrap it well to avoid freezer burn.
