This Protein Tiramisu Pudding is a healthy twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining creamy Greek yogurt and protein powder with rich espresso and cocoa powder for a decadent yet nutritious treat. Perfect for a post-workout snack or a guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Base

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla flavor works best)

Flavoring and Topping

  • 1/2 cup brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Mix Pudding Base: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and protein powder. Stir well until the protein powder is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
  2. Layer with Espresso Flavor: Pour half of the brewed espresso over the pudding mixture and stir gently to infuse the espresso flavor. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the pudding mixture and espresso alternately to create a tiramisu effect.
  3. Chill: Place the layered pudding in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the pudding to set. Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu finish.

Notes

  • Use cooled espresso to prevent the yogurt from curdling.
  • Vanilla protein powder pairs well for a balanced flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding a natural sweetener like honey if desired.
  • For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative and use a plant-based protein powder.
