Protein-Packed Tiramisu

A healthier twist on the classic Italian dessert, this Protein-Packed Tiramisu combines creamy cottage cheese and mascarpone, making it lower in sugar and higher in protein.

  • Total Time: 255 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup powdered sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia)
  • 1 cup brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ladyfinger cookies or keto-friendly alternative
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Dip ladyfinger cookies quickly in cooled espresso, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer the cookies in a serving dish.
  3. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the first layer of soaked cookies.
  4. Repeat with another layer of soaked cookies and top with the remaining cheese mixture.
  5. Dust the top with cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes (or overnight) to set.
  6. Serve chilled, garnished with dark chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

Make sure your espresso is cooled before dipping the ladyfingers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
