Lighter Tiramisu (Vegetarian, Meal Prep, High Protein)

Easy lighter tiramisu 🍮 Perfect for your morning or afternoon tea or even dessert. This is one of my favourite snack for afternoon tea and also, one of Dorian’s favourite snack.

It’s lighter and healthier than your typical tiramisu as it’s made with Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. So, it’s packed with protein to keep you full and satiated for longer. And it’s easy to make as the sponge layer is made using your favourite plain sweet biscuits – I used Arnotts shredded wheatmeal biscuits ☺️ So, in total it took me 15 minutes to whip these tiramisu up and it keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days 😉 Also, if you are looking for a last minute quick & delicious dessert for entertaining, look no further 😋 And Happy New Year, everyone 🎄🎉🥳🎈🎄I hope the new year brings you joy, prosperity & health ❤️💕💕
