Protein-Packed Vanilla Almond Tiramisu Cups offer a high-protein twist on a classic dessert, with creamy layers of vanilla Greek yogurt, ricotta, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and a crunchy almond topping. It’s a satisfying and nourishing treat perfect for breakfast, dessert, or post-workout fuel.
Ingredients
- 1 scoop (30 g) vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup (120 g) non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup (62 g) low-fat ricotta cheese
- 2 gluten-free ladyfinger cookies
- 1 tbsp (≈15 ml) espresso coffee
- 1 tsp (≈5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chopped almonds
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix espresso and vanilla extract. Quickly dip the ladyfingers to moisten, then set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk vanilla protein powder with almond milk until smooth. Stir in Greek yogurt and mix well.
- Fold in the low-fat ricotta until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
- In a serving cup, layer some of the cream mixture, followed by pieces of the soaked ladyfingers, and top with the remaining cream mixture.
- Sprinkle chopped almonds on top for crunch.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld and texture set.
Notes
- Use high-quality vanilla protein powder for best flavor.
- Dip ladyfingers briefly to avoid sogginess.
- Let the assembled cup chill to enhance texture and taste.
- Top with berries or dust with cocoa powder for extra flair.
- Use a dairy-free yogurt and ricotta alternative for a vegan version.
