Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 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
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- Ladyfingers or sponge cake (enough to layer)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Prepare Coffee: Pour cooled brewed coffee into a shallow dish to prepare for dipping the ladyfingers or sponge cake.
- Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip the ladyfingers or sponge cake pieces into the brewed coffee, ensuring they absorb just enough coffee without becoming soggy.
- Layering: In small serving cups, create layers by alternating between the coffee-soaked ladyfingers and the yogurt-protein mixture. Repeat layering until the cups are nearly full, finishing with a layer of the yogurt mixture on top.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Lightly sift the cocoa powder over the top layer for that signature tiramisu finish and an added touch of flavor.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cups for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the tiramisu cups to set properly.
- Serve: Enjoy your guilt-free Coffee Protein Tiramisu Cups by digging in with a spoon and savoring the rich, protein-packed dessert.
Notes
- Use cooled coffee to prevent the ladyfingers from becoming too soggy.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to taste.
- Vanilla or chocolate protein powder works well depending on your flavor preference.
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt and mascarpone with plant-based alternatives and use maple syrup as sweetener.
- Refrigerate leftovers promptly and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
