Healthy Tiramisu
A lighter take on the classic Italian dessert, this healthy tiramisu uses whole-grain ladyfingers, Greek yogurt, and natural sweeteners while keeping all the creamy, coffee-infused goodness!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Electric Mixer
- Shallow Dish
Ingredients
Cream Layer
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or low-fat

Coffee Layer
- 1 cup brewed espresso cooled
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened, for dusting
- 10 whole grain ladyfingers
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
