Introduction

This Healthy Oreo Tiramisu is a deliciously guilt-free twist on a classic favorite. Packed with protein and low in calories, it’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a creamy, chocolatey dessert without overindulging.

The image shows a square chocolate dessert with two main layers inside a metal baking pan on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a moist, dark brown cake with a slightly crumbly texture. Above it is a thick white cream layer that looks smooth and soft. The top is dusted with a light brown cocoa powder and scattered with small, crushed dark chocolate cookie pieces. Three squares of the dessert are left intact, while one square is missing from the front corner, showing the layers inside. Some crumbs and small drops of liquid are visible on the pan.

Ingredients

½ cup Flour (60g)
⅔ cup Chocolate Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 60g)
⅓ cup Unflavored Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 30g)
¼ cup Black Cocoa (20g)
½ tsp Stevia Sweetener (equivalent to 4 tsp Sugar)
2 tsp Baking Powder
½ cup Unsweetened Applesauce (120g)
½ cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (112g)
⅓ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (80ml)
1 Egg (room temperature)
1 Egg White (33g)
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
8 oz Reduced Fat Cream Cheese (224g)
1 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt (225g)
½ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 45g)
2 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (30ml)
2 cups Coffee (room temperature)
2 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3 Oreo Thins

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8” x 8” brownie pan or baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a bowl, combine flour, chocolate and unflavored protein powders, black cocoa, stevia sweetener, and baking powder.
Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, egg white, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to avoid a tough cake.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the center rack for 24–26 minutes. A tester inserted in the center should come out clean and the cake should feel springy.
Step 6: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 7: For the cream, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 8: Add Greek yogurt and almond milk to the cream cheese and beat again until combined.
Step 9: Beat in the vanilla protein powder, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 10: Pour coffee into a large shallow dish.
Step 11: Cut the cooled cake into strips and dip each strip quickly into the coffee, then place it back in the 8”x8” pan to cover the base.
Step 12: Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the coffee-soaked cake layer.
Step 13: Arrange another layer of coffee-dipped cake over the cream, then spread the remaining cream on top.
Step 14: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
Step 15: Before serving, dust the tiramisu with unsweetened cocoa powder using a sieve and sprinkle crushed Oreo Thins on top.

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of whey and casein protein powders for better texture and creaminess.
Substitute black cocoa with natural unsweetened cocoa powder if unavailable.
For a dairy-free version, replace Greek yogurt and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
Adjust sweetness by adding a little honey or maple syrup if Stevia is too strong for your taste.

Storage

Store the tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It is best enjoyed chilled, and you can let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing as the texture may change.

How to Serve

A three-layer dessert slice sits on a white plate with a white marbled surface underneath. The bottom and middle layers are dark chocolate cake, soft and moist in texture. Between these cake layers and on top is a creamy white filling that looks light and fluffy. The top is dusted with cocoa powder and covered with crushed dark chocolate cookie pieces, adding a rough, crumbly texture. Some crumbs are scattered around the plate, and in the background, more pieces of the cake and cookies are visible, along with the edge of a silver baking pan.
