Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 3 tbsp Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., stevia or erythritol)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Strong brewed coffee (decaf optional)
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8 Sugar-free ladyfingers (or whole wheat sponge biscuits)
- 2 tbsp Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
- 4 Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat together the low-fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set the mixture aside.
Pour the brewed coffee into a shallow dish and let it cool. Optionally, use decaf coffee for a caffeine-free dessert.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are moistened but not too soggy. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a small serving dish or 4 individual dessert glasses.
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of soaked ladyfingers.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder over the cream cheese layer for a light dusting.
Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cream cheese mixture.
Top the tiramisu with an additional dusting of cocoa powder. For an extra touch, garnish with dark chocolate shavings and fresh mint leaves if desired.
Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy this diabetes-friendly twist on a classic dessert!
