Ingredients
-
40 ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
-
1.4 kg vanilla protein yogurt (or Greek yogurt mixed with 2 tbsp honey/maple syrup)
-
2 cups strong black coffee, cooled
-
2 tbsp vanilla protein powder (optional, for extra protein and richness)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (only if using plain yogurt)
-
10 g unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
-
Optional: splash of coffee liqueur, dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
-
Prepare the creamy filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together the protein yogurt, optional protein powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. -
Set up the coffee station:
Pour cooled coffee into a shallow dish. Stir in coffee liqueur if using. Keep your serving dish nearby for easy assembly. -
Dip the ladyfingers:
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee—just 1 second per side—to absorb flavor without becoming soggy. -
Layer the tiramisu:
-
Place the first layer of dipped ladyfingers in the dish.
-
Spread half of the yogurt mixture over them.
-
Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and yogurt for a second layer.
-
-
Dust with cocoa:
Use a fine-mesh sieve to evenly dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder. -
Chill:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Notes
-
For fluffier cream: Whisk yogurt mixture for 1–2 minutes before layering.
-
Fruit twist: Replace coffee with raspberry or strawberry jam thinned with water for a fruity tiramisu.
-
Chocolate lovers: Mix 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder into the yogurt for a mocha version.
-
Dairy-free: Use thick coconut yogurt and vegan ladyfingers.
