Ingredients for Protein Tiramisu

This protein Tiramisu is made with a protein cake and cream cheese – Greek yogurt cream, and has no oil or no sugar either; The perfect healthy Tiramisu!

Whole Wheat Pastry Flour for a healthy and whole grain cake recipe.
Vanilla Protein Powder – this replaces the sugar in this recipe and is the key to what makes it a high protein tiramisu base. I used Quest Nutrition’s Vanilla protein powder – it’s a whey-casein blend and great for baking.
Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe. I used a whey-casein blend from Quest Nutrition.
Stevia Powder; I use Sweetleaf Stevia
Non-fat Greek Yogurt another protein-packed ingredient!
Almond Milk for a slightly low calorie and healthy recipe
Unsweetened Applesauce
An Egg
Just a bit of softened butter
Baking Powder and Baking Soda

Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
Non-fat Greek Yogurt
Vanilla Protein Powder; This is the source of sweetness in the protein cream for this layered dessert. No added sugar in this recipe. Quest again here.

Tips for Protein Powder Tiramisu with Cream Cheese and Greek Yogurt

This cream cheese and Greek yogurt tiramisu recipe is really very easy to make!

For the Protein Cake base in this Tiramisu without Lady fingers

Use room temperature milk, yogurt, eggs an applesauce;
This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients of the cake batter can mix well.

Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder will make the cake for the tiramisu tough, dense and gummy.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have a sugar free and healthy protein tiramisu.

Don’t over-bake the cake or it will get tough; Remove when the tester/knife comes out just dry, but moist.

Let cake cool completely before cutting or the tiramisu won’t hold.

For the Cream in this Macro Friendly Tiramisu without Mascarpone:

Use softened cream cheese so everything mixes well.

Beat the cream cheese well
You really want to do this step so the cream turns out light and fluffy.
