Ingredients
- 240 ml Espresso or strong coffee
- 45 ml Pure maple syrup
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 480 ml Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 120 ml Mascarpone cheese
- 30 g Powdered sugar
- 200 g Whole-grain ladyfingers
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 10 g Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Brew 240 ml of espresso or strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the cooled coffee with 15 ml of maple syrup and 2.5 ml of vanilla extract. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mascarpone cheese, the remaining 30 ml of maple syrup, 2.5 ml of vanilla extract, and the powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Step 4
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring it's lightly soaked but not overly saturated.
Step 5
In a 9x9-inch dish (or individual dessert cups), begin layering the tiramisu. Start with a layer of dipped ladyfingers on the bottom.
Step 6
Spread a layer of the yogurt-mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and finish with a final layer of the yogurt-mascarpone mixture.
Step 8
Dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
Step 9
Optional: Shave dark chocolate over the top using a grater for added texture and flavor.
Step 10
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
Step 11
Serve chilled and enjoy your lighter, healthier tiramisu!
