Protein Tiramisu – Light, Creamy, and Made with Care

Some desserts offer more than just taste. They offer a feeling. Calm. A small moment where you’re not rushing.

Tiramisu is exactly such a dessert – an aroma of coffee, cocoa, and soft cream that seems to slow down time. This version retains the spirit of the classic but makes it lighter, more balanced, and suitable for everyday life.

How a Lighter Version Is Born

Instead of heavy cream and excessive sweetness, the base here is gentler and cleaner. The cream remains rich and velvety, but without the feeling of heaviness afterward. This is a dessert you can indulge in freely – after dinner, on a day off, or whenever you simply crave something good.

Balance comes not from deprivation, but from better ingredients and the way you combine them.

The Little Secret Behind the Taste

To achieve this creamy result, protein must be part of the flavor, not something that feels separate.

In this recipe, I use MORE Delicious Whey Protein with Vanilla Muffin flavor – soft, slightly sweet, and reminiscent of homemade vanilla cake. It blends naturally with the yogurt and coffee, without changing the character of the dessert.

How to Prepare This Tiramisu

It starts with the cream – skyr or strained yogurt, slowly stirred with the protein, a little vanilla, and sweetener to taste. If you want a more decadent feel, you can add a spoonful of mascarpone, but even without it, the cream remains delicate and balanced.

The ladyfingers are briefly dipped in chilled espresso – just enough to absorb the aroma without falling apart. Then everything is layered in a glass or a small jar: ladyfingers, cream, more ladyfingers, and a final layer of cream.

Finally comes the cocoa – a thin layer that completes the taste. The dessert needs a little time in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld and the texture to become even finer.

How to Serve It

It looks most beautiful in a clear glass, lightly dusted with cocoa and without unnecessary garnish. This is a dessert that doesn't need much, because its appearance speaks for itself.
