You’d never know this Chocolate Tiramisu Cake Roll is actually low carb and sugar free and even nut free, just by looking at it or even tasting it! Most low carb desserts are made with almond flour, but not in this luscious dessert!
KETO LOW CARB TIRAMISU CAKE ROLL
When you’re looking for an impressive dessert for family and friends who might not be sugar free or low carb, this is the one that will surprise all of them! The chocolate cake has a light and airy texture and every single bite is creamy and delicious with all the flavors of a traditional tiramisu dessert without all the trouble of one.
If you’re looking at this and have never made a chocolate cake roll before you might be a little intimidated as I was once.
I’ve had plenty of trials with this recipe, but this final version is the one that will make anyone have success.
CAKE ROLLS
Let’s be honest though, it takes a bit of time to assemble something like this, while the baking of the cake itself takes as little as ten minutes. The cooling time and chilling time takes a bit more longer than a traditional cake, but the outcome is well worth the work.
NUT FREE CAKE ROLL
My youngest has a tree nut allergy but also really just hates anything that has coconut flavor. Hiding it has been my goal as a low carb recipe developer since I can’t use almond flour in family recipes.
SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
The steps are quite simple really, bake the cake in 10 minutes, roll while warm, allow to cool completely, add coffee syrup and creamy filling, roll back up, chill it a while then add chocolate ganache over the top. Here’s a simple 3 ingredient Chocolate Ganache that doesn’t even use heavy cream.
I actually made this for Easter with all my extended family and it was a huge hit with all of them who are not sugar free and low carb. My kids loved it, even the littlest with the tree nut allergy. He said with a mouthful of cake, “THIS IS SO DELICIOUS MOMMY!”
I think he has no idea coconut flour is in it and I will never tell!
