  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Base Layer

  • 2 rice cakes
  • 10 g cocoa powder
  • 15 g protein powder
  • 1 tsp sweetener of choice (to taste)
  • 120 ml almond milk

Cheesecake Layer

  • 15 g protein powder (salted caramel flavour)
  • 80 g Greek yoghurt 0%
  • 20 g light cream cheese (Philadelphia active)
  • 30 ml espresso coffee
  • Sprinkle of cocoa powder (to serve)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Base Layer: In a bowl, crush 2 rice cakes into tiny pieces. Combine the crushed rice cakes with 15 g protein powder, 10 g cocoa powder, 1 tsp sweetener of choice, and 120 ml almond milk. Mix well until evenly combined.
  2. Transfer Base: Spoon the mixture into a serving glass or mason jar forming the rice cake base layer.
  3. Mix Cheesecake Ingredients: In a separate bowl, add 80 g Greek yoghurt and 20 g light cream cheese. Mix thoroughly to avoid clumping.
  4. Add Protein Powder: Incorporate 15 g salted caramel protein powder into the yoghurt and cream cheese mixture. Mix until achieving a smooth, runny icing-like consistency.
  5. Add Espresso Coffee: Brew 30 ml espresso coffee and add it gradually to the cheesecake mixture, stirring continuously until you reach a custard-like consistency.
  6. Assemble Layers: Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the rice cake base layer evenly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Dust the top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed tiramisu pudding.

Notes

  • To make this dessert vegan, substitute the Greek yoghurt and cream cheese with dairy-free alternatives and use plant-based protein powder.
  • The amount of almond milk may vary depending on your protein powder brand; start with 60 ml and add more to achieve desired texture.
  • The espresso coffee can be replaced with strong brewed coffee if preferred.
  • Use sweetener according to your taste preference and dietary requirements.
