Healthy tiramisu: 5 Irresistible steps to a guilt-free dessert


  • Author: ushinzomr
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, light
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (7 oz) ladyfinger cookies, whole wheat or gluten-free
  • Dark chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mascarpone cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for about 1-2 seconds, making sure not to soak them. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of a serving dish.
  4. Spread half of the yogurt-mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and yogurt mixture.
  6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, dust the top with the remaining cocoa powder and add dark chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less honey/maple syrup.
  • For a caffeine-free version, use decaffeinated coffee.
