Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ladyfingers or sponge cake (enough to create layers)
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, protein powder, mascarpone cheese, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend all these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Prepare Coffee: Pour the cooled brewed coffee into a shallow dish. This will be used to soak the ladyfingers or sponge cake to infuse them with the coffee flavor.
- Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger or sponge cake piece into the cooled coffee, just long enough to moisten but not make them soggy.
- Layering: In small serving cups, create layers by placing soaked ladyfingers at the bottom, followed by a layer of the yogurt and mascarpone mixture. Repeat these layers until the cup is filled, finishing with a layer of the yogurt mixture on top.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Sift cocoa powder generously over the top layer to achieve the classic tiramisu appearance and add a final touch of flavor.
- Chill: Place the tiramisu cups in the refrigerator and chill them for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and ensures the dessert sets properly.
- Serve: Enjoy your healthy, guilt-free tiramisu dessert by digging in with a spoon directly from the cups.
Notes
- Use cooled coffee to prevent the ladyfingers from becoming too soggy.
- You can substitute mascarpone cheese with cream cheese for a slightly different texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, espresso can be used instead of regular brewed coffee.
- This recipe can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
