Ingredients
- 1 cup 240 ml of Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- ¾ cup 180 ml of mascarpone cheese
- ¾ cup 120g vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup 120 ml brewed espresso (cooled)
- 2 tablespoons 30 ml maple syrup or honey (optional for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon 5 ml vanilla extract
- 12 ladyfinger biscuits
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- Dark chocolate shavings for garnish
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.
Notes
TIPS:
1. 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. 2. For a stronger coffee flavor, you can opt for a dark roast espresso. 3. If you want to enhance the protein content further, consider sprinkling chia seeds or hemp seeds between layers. 4. 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! SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve your High Protein Tiramisu in individual glasses for a touch of elegance, especially if you have guests over. This not only looks appealing but also provides portion control.
Pairing this Tiramisu with a hot cup of unsweetened tea or coffee enhances the flavors, offering a balance between the creamy dessert and the hot beverage.
If you’re serving this for a post-workout treat, consider adding a side of fresh berries for additional fiber and vitamins.
Lastly, always remember, while High Protein Tiramisu is a healthier alternative, moderation is key.
