A healthy and protein-packed twist on classic tiramisu using rice cakes soaked in brewed coffee, layered with a creamy mixture of reduced fat cream cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, and vanilla protein powder, then dusted with cocoa powder. This easy, no-bake dessert is perfect for a guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Rice Cake Layer

  • 2 Rice Cakes (18g total)
  • ¼ cup Brewed Coffee

Cream Mixture

  • 3 Tbsp Reduced Fat Cream Cheese, softened (42g)
  • 3 Tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt (42g)
  • ¼ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 22g)
  • 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (30ml)

Topping

  • 1 tsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened reduced fat cream cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and unsweetened almond milk. Mix well until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Soak Rice Cake: Quickly dip one rice cake into the brewed coffee, making sure it absorbs some coffee but does not become too soggy. Transfer it gently into a large ramekin or dessert glass.
  3. Layer Cream Mixture: Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the soaked rice cake using the back of a spatula or spoon to smooth the surface.
  4. Repeat Layers: Repeat the process with the second rice cake, soaking it in coffee then layering it on top of the cream layer. Finally, spread the remaining cream mixture over the second rice cake layer and smooth it out.
  5. Chill Dessert: Cover the ramekin with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  6. Finish with Cocoa: Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with the unsweetened cocoa powder by sifting it through a fine sieve for an even coating.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed strong coffee for best flavor.
  • Be quick when dipping rice cakes to avoid sogginess.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of choice if preferred.
  • Chilling longer than 1 hour will deepen the flavor and improve texture.
  • For a vegan version, replace cream cheese and yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use a plant-based protein powder.
