Ingredients
  

For the pudding base
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • ½ cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For assembly
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 cup crushed ladyfinger cookies (optional) for layering
  • Chocolate shavings or nuts for garnish, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee and allowing it to cool. Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio to your liking for a stronger flavor.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
Assembly
  1. In serving glasses or bowls, start by dipping the ladyfingers in the cooled coffee for a couple of seconds (don’t soak them too long!). Lay them at the bottom of each glass.
  2. Next, spoon a generous layer of the yogurt mixture on top of the ladyfingers, using about ¼ of the mixture for each glass.
  3. Sprinkle a fine layer of cocoa powder over the yogurt layer for that classic tiramisu flavor.
  4. Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, followed by more yogurt mixture, until your glasses are filled. Finish with a dusting of cocoa and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or nuts.
Chilling
  1. Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and let them chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours (or overnight for enhanced flavors). Serve cold and enjoy!

Notes

Customize the sweetness according to your taste, skip the ladyfingers for a low-calorie version, and consider experimenting with different flavors.
