Stop buying tiramisu and make it better, healthier, and higher in protein right at home. I could eat that every day. Start with Greek yogurt, blended cottage cheese. This adds thickness, more protein, and I promise you won't taste it. Mascarpone cheese. This will give you the traditional tiramisu taste. We're not leaving it out, we're balancing it out. Now add any sweetener, vanilla extract, and your favorite vanilla protein powder. I use Transparent Labs. It tastes the best and it's naturally sweetened. Give it a good mix until it's completely smooth and creamy. Next, make some espresso or coffee. Quickly dunk your lady fingers inside your espresso. Add them to a bowl or any container. Then spread a layer of your protein mascarpone cream, more lady fingers, and another layer of cream. Now dust it with some cocoa powder. That's it. Let it chill in the fridge so it thickens and enjoy.
