'Anytime' Tiramisu
Meet my coffee-free ‘Anytime Tiramisu’! It’s creamy with yogurt and cottage cheese which gives it a good protein ‘pick me up’, crunchy with lower calorie ginger snaps, sweet with the perfectly ripe banana and well spiced with cinnamon and ginger.
Equipment
- 1 8 oz drinking glass or dessert glass
- 1 Food Processor
Ingredients
- 5 Gingerbread snaps
- 2/3 cup your favorite yogurt (I like Oikos triple zero vanilla)
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tbsp honey or any substitute you like
- 1 banana sliced (or your favorite fruit)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon + a pinch for the topping
- The juice reserved from the kid-friendly recipe or any juice you have in the fridge apple, orange, etc.
- 1 tsp cocoa powder optional
- 2 tablespoons low sugar chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- In the food processor, blend the cottage cheese, yogurt and honey until fluffy and smooth.
- In a small shallow bowl or plate, dip 3-4 gingerbread snaps in the juice or mixture you set aside and place at the bottom of your dessert glass.
- Layer the yogurt mixture and the banana on top.
- Continue to layer this way until you get to the top.
- Dust with cocoa powder, cinnamon and chocolate chips and enjoy.
Notes
*If looking for more of a snack or even lower calorie dessert, cut the recipe in half.
