Ingredients

Base Layer

  • 5 walnuts
  • ½ cup oats
  • 1 tsp coffee powder

Creamy Protein Layer

  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp fresh cream
  • 1 scoop Prolicious Up It
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener

Topping

  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Coffee-Oat Base

Add walnuts, oats, and coffee powder to a mixer jar.

And blend into a fine crumb-like powder.

Transfer the mixture into a serving mould or dessert jar and press it down firmly using the back of a spoon to create an even base.

Place the mould in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to set.

Step 2: Make the Protein Tiramisu Layer

In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and fresh cream.

Add monk fruit sweetener and cocoa powder. Mix well until smooth.

Now add 1 scoop of Prolicious Up It.

And whisk everything together until you achieve a rich, creamy, lump-free texture.

Step 3: Assemble the Tiramisu

Remove the chilled base from the refrigerator.

Spread the creamy protein mixture evenly over the prepared coffee-oat base and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm and well set.

Before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder.

Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious High-Protein Tiramisu.

 

 

Why This Recipe Works 

Traditional tiramisu is delicious, but it is usually made with refined ingredients and added sugars that can cause quick spikes and crashes in energy. 

This version works differently. 

More Protein 

The addition of Prolicious Up It and Greek yogurt significantly increases the protein content. Protein takes longer to digest and helps improve satiety, meaning you stay full for longer after eating. 

More Fibre 

Walnuts and oats contribute fibre, which slows digestion and supports a steadier release of glucose into the bloodstream. 

Better Blood Sugar Support 

Because this recipe combines protein, healthy fats, and fibre, it has a more balanced nutritional profile than a traditional tiramisu cake recipe. This can help reduce rapid blood sugar fluctuations compared to desserts made primarily with sugar and refined carbohydrates. 

Helps Manage Cravings 

Many people reach for sweets when they feel hungry shortly after meals. The combination of protein and fibre in this recipe helps improve fullness, making it easier to manage cravings. 

Supports Weight Management 

Desserts that keep you satisfied can help reduce mindless snacking later in the day. This makes healthier dessert choices easier to maintain consistently. 

Tips, Variations & Serving Ideas 

  • Add chopped almonds or pistachios for extra crunch. 
  • Replace honey with a diabetes-friendly sweetener if recommended by your healthcare professional. 
  • Add cinnamon for additional flavour and warmth. 
  • Serve in small glass jars for portion control. 
  • Make it ahead and refrigerate overnight for a richer flavour. 
  • Add a layer of fresh berries for extra fibre. 
  • Use chilled espresso for a stronger coffee flavour. 

 

FAQs 

Is this an eggless tiramisu recipe? 

Yes. This eggless tiramisu recipe contains no eggs and is much simpler to prepare than many traditional versions. 

Can people with diabetes eat this tiramisu? 

This recipe is designed with blood sugar awareness in mind because it contains protein, fibre, and healthy fats. However, portion size still matters, and individual needs may vary. 

Can I make this tiramisu recipe without protein powder? 

Yes, but the protein content will be lower. Prolicious Up It helps increase the protein level while maintaining a creamy texture. 

Is this an easy tiramisu recipe for beginners? 

Absolutely. There is no baking required, the ingredients are simple, and the preparation takes less than 15 minutes. 

Can I prepare it in advance? 

Yes. In fact, the flavours develop even better after a few hours in the refrigerator, making it a great make-ahead dessert. 

Smart Takeaway 

Healthy eating does not mean giving up the desserts you love. 

Sometimes it simply means upgrading them. 

This high-protein tiramisu recipe keeps the coffee, creaminess, and indulgence that make tiramisu special while adding more protein, more fibre, and better satiety. Small swaps like these can make familiar foods work harder for your health without making you feel restricted. 

Because sustainable healthy eating isn't about avoiding dessert. 

It's about building smarter versions of the foods you already enjoy.
