Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mascarpone cheese, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup or honey (if using), and vanilla extract.
Stir well until it turns into a smooth, creamy mixture. - In a separate shallow dish, pour the cooled espresso.
Dip each ladyfinger biscuit quickly into the espresso, ensuring they don’t get too soggy. - Start assembling your High Protein Tiramisu by placing half of the espresso-soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a serving dish or a glass trifle dish.
- Layer half of the creamy protein mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat the layers one more time, ending with the creamy mixture on top.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, letting the flavors meld.
- Just before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
Tips:
- When dipping ladyfingers in espresso, ensure they’re only submerged for 2-3 seconds.
This prevents them from becoming too soggy and losing their texture in the High Protein Tiramisu. - For a stronger coffee flavor, you can opt for a dark roast espresso.
- If you want to enhance the protein content further, consider sprinkling chia seeds or hemp seeds between layers.
- Although we’ve added a touch of sweetness with maple syrup, the natural sweetness of the mascarpone and protein powder may be enough for some.
Adjust based on your personal preference!
