Description
A healthier twist on the traditional Italian dessert, using cottage cheese and Greek yogurt for a protein boost without sacrificing flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup cooled brewed coffee
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ladyfinger cookies (or keto-friendly alternative)
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Dip the ladyfinger cookies into the cooled coffee for just a few seconds to soften them without making them soggy.
- In a serving dish, start layering by placing soaked ladyfingers on the bottom, then add half of the cottage cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle with cocoa powder.
- Repeat the layering process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining cottage cheese mixture.
- Finish with a dusting of cocoa powder on top.
- Refrigerate your dessert for at least two hours before serving.
Notes
For a lower-carb option, use almond flour-based ladyfingers. For extra richness, chill overnight.
