Introduction to Low Carb Espresso Cookies
Matt’s favorite dessert in low carb form is back in the menu with these Low Carb Espresso Cookies! He says it resembles tiramisu to a tee without all the work. Now, doesn’t that sound like a dream come true? We’ve even created the perfect dip to pair so you can serve this at parties and impress all your friends and family!
Do I Need To Use Espresso Grounds?
Short answer: No, you don’t need to use them. Answer that I prefer to give: It makes all the difference if you do so we highly recommend it! And, the darker the roast the more intense the flavor of the cookie. If you’re worried about caffeine content you shouldn’t because it will be very minimal – similar to the amount you may find in chocolate. However, if you just don’t have espresso at home, coffee will work for this recipe. If you use coffee, let us know how it turns out!
Keto Tiramisu Is Now Possible!
This may not be your traditional tiramisu replacement and you may even shutter at the fact that we are saying cookies can replace your favorite dessert. But, all the flavors are there. Simply dip the cookies in the espresso dip, close your eyes and indulge. We know a good remake when we see one and if you’ve made any of our other low carb replacements you can attest to that! We have low carb butter chicken, chewy chocolate chip cookies and keto bread.
