Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup Flour (60g)
  • ⅔ cup Chocolate Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 60g)
  • ⅓ cup Unflavored Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 30g)
  • ¼ cup Black Cocoa (20g)
  • ½ tsp Stevia Sweetener (equivalent to 4 tsp Sugar)
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder

Wet Ingredients for Cake

  • 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 Layer

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

Assembly

  • 2 cups Coffee (Room temperature)
  • 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 3 Oreo Thins (crushed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Set 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 large bowl, sift together the flour, chocolate protein powder, unflavored protein powder, black cocoa powder, stevia, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, egg white, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender, as protein powders and whole wheat flour can make the texture tough if overworked.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the center rack for 24-26 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick or tester inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake springs back slightly when touched.
  6. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare Cream Layer: Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth (about 1 minute). Add the Greek yogurt and almond milk and continue beating until combined. Finally, beat in the vanilla protein powder, scraping down the bowl as needed to maintain an even mixture.
  8. Assemble Tiramisu – First Layer: Pour the coffee into a shallow dish. Cut the cooled cake into strips and dip each quickly into the coffee, then place them snugly in the bottom of the 8” x 8” pan. Repeat to cover the entire base.
  9. First Cream Layer: Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the coffee-dipped cake layer, smoothing it with the back of a spatula or spoon.
  10. Assemble Tiramisu – Second Layer: Dip another layer of cake strips in coffee, arrange them evenly over the cream layer, and then spread the remaining cream on top.
  11. Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and set.
  12. Finish and Serve: Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a sieve for an even layer. Crush the Oreo Thins and sprinkle them over the cocoa-dusted top for a final decorative and tasty touch.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture due to protein powders and wheat gluten.
  • Ensure the coffee is at room temperature to avoid making the cake soggy during dipping.
  • Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 6 hours; overnight chilling is preferred for best flavor and texture.
  • Substitute unflavored protein powder with any whey or plant-based alternative if preferred.
  • This recipe makes a healthier, high-protein dessert option with reduced sugar and fat.
