Tiramisu cups - easy, quick and low calorie (2) Tiramisu cups – low in calorie & great in taste!

Tiramisu, that is low calorie and full of taste is an absolute game changer! The reason why this recipe has lower calories than regular tiramisu dessertis because of swapping Savoiardi cookies for rusks (which also tastes great) and dipping them into coffee-amaretto mixture to keep the taste. Tiramisu cream is made out of mascarpone, greek yogurt, egg whites and maple syrup – it turns very light, fluffy and incredibly delicious. A regular tiramisu cup contains more than 600 calories BUT the calories in this recipe are 3 times lower. This is great, if you want to keep eating your favorite food, do not want to restrict yourself and reach your toned body goals.
