Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • ½ cup Flour (60g)
  • ⅔ cup Chocolate Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 60g)
  • ⅓ cup Unflavored Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 30g)
  • ¼ cup Black Cocoa Powder (20g)
  • ½ tsp Stevia Sweetener (equivalent to 4 tsp Sugar)
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Applesauce (120g)
  • ½ cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (112g)
  • ⅓ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (80ml)
  • 1 Egg (room temperature)
  • 1 Egg White (33g)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Cream Mixture

  • 8 oz Reduced Fat Cream Cheese (224g)
  • 1 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (225g)
  • ½ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-Casein, 45g)
  • 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (30ml)

Additional Components

  • 2 cups Coffee (room temperature)
  • 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 3 Oreo Thins (crushed for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8” x 8” brownie pan or baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, chocolate protein powder, unflavored protein powder, black cocoa powder, stevia sweetener, and baking powder. Stir until well incorporated.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, nonfat plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, egg, egg white, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk gently just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix to avoid a tough texture due to the protein powders and gluten in the flour.
  5. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the center rack for 24-26 minutes. A toothpick or tester inserted into the center should come out clean, and the cake should be springy to the touch in the center.
  6. Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to come to room temperature fully.
  7. Prepare the cream: In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment to beat the reduced fat cream cheese until smooth, about 1 minute.
  8. Add yogurt and milk: Beat in the nonfat plain Greek yogurt and almond milk until fully combined and smooth.
  9. Incorporate vanilla protein powder: Beat in the vanilla protein powder, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed to ensure an even mix.
  10. Assemble tiramisu base: Pour the room temperature coffee into a large shallow dish. Cut the cooled cake into strips, dip each strip briefly in the coffee to soak, then arrange them evenly in the 8” x 8” pan to cover the base.
  11. Add first cream layer: Spread half of the cream mixture over the coffee-soaked cake layer, smoothing it evenly with the back of a spatula or spoon.
  12. Add second cake layer: Dip another layer of cake strips in coffee and place it on top of the cream layer, then spread the remaining cream mixture on top.
  13. Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to set and allow flavors to meld.
  14. Finish and serve: Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine sieve and sprinkle crushed Oreo Thins on top as garnish.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent a tough cake texture due to the protein powders and gluten in the flour.
  • Ensure the coffee is at room temperature to avoid melting the cream layers during dipping and assembly.
  • The recipe uses reduced-fat cream cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt to keep the dessert lower in calories while maintaining creamy texture.
  • Stevia is used as a natural low-calorie sweetener; adjust sweetness to taste if preferred.
  • Allow the tiramisu to chill adequately for optimal flavor and texture development.
  • Oreo Thins add a crunchy texture contrast—feel free to substitute with other low-calorie cookie alternatives.
