  • Creamy, protein-rich filling
  • Espresso-soaked ladyfingers for that classic tiramisu flavor
  • Only 291 calories per serving with 21.5g of protein

Ingredients Needed

  • 10 lady fingers
  • 2 shots of espresso (for soaking)
  • 290g 2% cottage cheese (I recommend Good Culture!)
  • 12g sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (use less as needed for desired consistency)
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)

How to Make Our Protein-Packed Tiramisu

  1. Soak the ladyfingers: In a shallow dish, soak the lady fingers in espresso for about 10 seconds each. Layer 5 soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a small tray.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, pudding mix, and almond milk. Blend until smooth. Add almond milk gradually, adjusting the amount for your desired consistency. Keep in mind that the pudding mix will thicken the mixture as it sits.
  3. Layer the tiramisu: Pour half of the cottage cheese mixture over the soaked ladyfingers. Add the remaining 5 soaked ladyfingers on top, then cover with the rest of the cottage cheese mixture.
  4. Finish and chill: Dust the top with cocoa powder (about 1-2 tbsp) for extra flavor. Let the tiramisu chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours before serving.

Storage & Serving Suggestions

  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Serving: This tiramisu is perfect on its own, or you can serve it with a light fruit salad or a cup of espresso for a full dessert experience.

Tips & FAQs

  • Can I use regular pudding mix instead of sugar-free? Yes! Regular vanilla pudding mix can be used, but the calorie count and sugar content will be higher.
  • Can I make this ahead of time? Yes! This tiramisu tastes even better after it’s had time to chill in the fridge.
  • What’s the best way to adjust the consistency of the filling? Add almond milk slowly and blend until smooth. If you like a thicker filling, you can use less almond milk
