  • Total Time: 140 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A delicious twist on the classic Italian dessert Tiramisu, made healthier with cottage cheese for a protein boost.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 pack ladyfinger cookies or keto-friendly alternative
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, blend the cottage cheese, heavy cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for just a second and layer them in the bottom of a serving dish.
  3. Spread half of the creamy cottage cheese mixture over the layer of ladyfingers.
  4. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top and finish with the remaining cottage cheese mixture.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. Dust generously with cocoa powder just before serving.

Notes

For optimal results, use full-fat cottage cheese for creaminess. Dip ladyfingers quickly to prevent sogginess.
