Maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup Adds sweetness without refined sugar.
Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instant espresso powder

Warm water

Vanilla protein powder

Unsweetened cocoa powder

Method
 

Make the espresso mixture
  1. Dissolve the instant espresso powder in warm water, then set aside.
  2. Rest the espresso mixture for 5 minutes so it smooths out before layering.
Build the creamy filling
  1. Beat the softened light cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Mix in the plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vanilla protein powder until creamy and uniform.
Assemble the tiramisu layers
  1. Spread a layer of crushed Oreo cookies into the bottom of an 8-inch dish.
  2. Drizzle half of the espresso mixture over the cookie layer.
  3. Spread half of the cream mixture over the cookies.
  4. Repeat the layers once more, ending with the cream mixture on top.
Chill and finish
  1. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  2. Dust with unsweetened cocoa powder and sprinkle with the reserved crushed Oreo cookies before serving.

Notes

For the cleanest layers, press the crushed Oreos gently into the dish so they don’t shift, and ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended because the yogurt and cream cheese texture can loosen. If you want a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cream cheese and Greek-style coconut yogurt in the same amounts.
