Description

A delightful protein-packed twist on traditional tiramisu, featuring espresso-soaked ladyfingers layered with creamy mascarpone and Greek yogurt.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Ladyfinger Biscuits (Savoiardi)
  • 1 cup Espresso
  • 8 oz Mascarpone Cheese
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt or 1 scoop Protein Powder
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Sugar or Sweetener
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare your espresso: Brew a strong cup of espresso and set it aside to cool.
  2. Make the cream layer: In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, Greek yogurt (or protein powder), sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  3. Prepare the biscuits: Pour the cooled espresso into a shallow bowl and quickly dip each ladyfinger into it.
  4. Layer it up: Create a base layer with soaked ladyfingers in a jar, then spoon in a generous amount of the cream mixture.
  5. Repeat the process to create additional layers of biscuits and cream, aiming for at least two to three layers.
  6. Dust with cocoa powder: Sift unsweetened cocoa powder over the final creamy layer.
  7. Chill the jars in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Garnish with chocolate shavings or whipped cream for extra flavor.
