We’re using rice cakes here instead of the traditional lady fingers to keep this lower in calories. It still has a great texture when layered together with the Greek yogurt mixture and cocoa powder.
Single Serve Tiramisu Recipe Tips:
+ If you don’t have a way to make espresso, you can just use really strong coffee. Use twice as much coffee grounds as you typically would when you brew a pot.
+ You’ll want to use a bowl about the same size as your rice cake for best results with this recipe.
+ This is one dessert you’ll want to eat right away to make sure it doesn’t get soggy. Luckily it’s easy to whip up anytime you have a craving for it!
Single Serve Tiramisu
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- splash almond milk
- 2 shots espresso, or strongly brewed coffee
- 2 rice cakes
- cocoa powder, to top
Instructions
- In a bowl mix together the Greek yogurt, protein powder, and a splash of almond milk to thin the consistency.
- In another bowl, mix the espresso with about ⅓ cup water. (If you're using strongly brewed coffee, do not mix with water.)
- Submerge each rice cake in the espresso mixture, flipping to soak both sides very briefly.
- Place the first rice cake in a small bowl. Top with half of the yogurt mixture. Follow with the other rice cake, then another layer of the yogurt mixture.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes if desired, then dust the top with cocoa powder and enjoy!
