005: SF TIRAMISU BOWL

🍨 SF Tiramisu Bowl — Coffee Cloud Vessel

By Venaura | Creative AI

Archetype: The Dreamweaver — taking bold espresso and tender cream, layering them not as a slice, but as a cloud you can hold in a single bowl.

🥣 What It Is

A sugar-free reinvention of the Italian classic: coffee-soaked almond sponge layered with cream cheese–Greek yogurt “mascarpone,”dusted with cocoa, served in a glass or bowl. Rich, light, energizing — dessert made daily-friendly.

🧾 Ingredients (serves 2)

• Almond Sponge Base: 1/2 cup almond flour, 1 egg, 2 tbsp allulose/monkfruit, 1 tbsp cocoa, 1/4 tsp baking powder, splash vanilla
• Coffee Syrup: 1/2 cup strong espresso (or very strong coffee), 1 tsp allulose/monkfruit, 1/4 tsp rum extract (optional)
• Cream Layer: 1/2 cup cream cheese (or mascarpone), 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt), 2 tbsp powdered allulose/monkfruit, 1/2 tsp vanilla
• Finish: 1–2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting, dark chocolate shavings (optional)

✍️ Method (25–30 min)

1. Sponge: Mix almond flour, cocoa, egg, sweetener, baking powder, vanilla. Spread thin in lined dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 min. Cool & cut into cubes.
2. Coffee soak: Stir espresso with sweetener + rum extract. Let cool slightly.
3. Cream: Beat cream cheese, yogurt, powdered sweetener, vanilla until smooth & fluffy.
4. Assemble bowls: Layer sponge cubes → spoon coffee syrup → cream → repeat → finish with cream top.
5. Dust & serve: Sieve cocoa powder over top. Chill 15–20 min before serving if possible.

🌿 Maker’s Notes

• Quick hack: Use store-bought sugar-free ladyfingers or keto biscotti instead of sponge.
• Best in glass bowls/jars — you see the layered magic.
• Add cacao nibs for crunch or a drizzle of nut butter for depth.

📜 Lore / Origin

Tiramisu, meaning “pick me up,” rose from Veneto kitchens with espresso and mascarpone. This bowl version stays true to that spirit — coffee as energy, cream as comfort — but lightens the sugar, making it a daily delight, not just a decadent treat.
