Low FODMAP Tiramisu
I am probably one of the only people in the world who doesn’t like tiramisu. I never understood why people love it so much. I just don’t like the taste of those soft cookies with cream so much.
But I know that many people are crazy about tiramisu and that it is a favourite Christmas dessert. I think I never got so many requests for a dessert as for a low FODMAP tiramisu. So, tiramisu-lovers, this one is for you!
The tiramisu was tested by my entire family and they all loved it. My boyfriend (who doesn’t eat low FODMAP, gluten-free or lactose-free) even said that it was the best tiramisu that he ever had! And even I thought it wasn’t too bad 😉
How to make low FODMAP tiramisu
It isn’t difficult to make a low FODMAP tiramisu. As long as you have lactose-free whipped cream, mascarpone and gluten-free ladyfingers.
I used whipped cream and mascarpone from the brand MinusL and gluten-free ladyfingers from the brand Schär (savoiardi). If you can’t find ladyfingers that are gluten-free and low FODMAP, you can make these homemade gluten-free lady fingers.
If you can’t find lactose-free whipping cream and/or mascarpone, you can also make normal whipping cream and mascarpone low lactose using lactase drops.
I love using the lactase drops from the brand Intoleran. You simply add 20 lactase drops to 500 g mascarpone and 3 lactose drops to 125 g of whipping cream. Stir this through well. Then cover the mascarpone and whipping cream and put it into the fridge for 24 hours.
After 24 hours 80% of the lactose has dissolved and the product will be safe to use for most people with a lactose intolerance. You can find more information on how this works on Intoleran’s website.
