If you’ve been following along on here for a while, you know I love a recipe that taste indulgent but comes together with almost no effort! My Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse went viral on Instagram and I received so many messages about how many of you loved it, so it sparked this idea for this recipe: Greek Yogurt Tiramisu!
This one started as an experiment and I was honestly surprised by how much it delivers on that classic tiramisu flavour. The Greek yogurt is tangy enough to mimic that mascarpone richness, and once you add a touch of maple syrup, vanilla, and let it sit with coffee-soaked ladyfingers in the fridge it tastes pretty close to a traditional tiramisu!
I love making this when I’m craving dessert but still want something healthy and high in protein. If you’re into easy no bake, you’ll also want to try my High Protein Banana Pudding and my Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse!
Key Ingredients
Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt with some fat (such as 2-5%) works best here for the richest, creamiest texture. I’m made this with both 2% and 5% Greek yogurt and both work well. You can use 0% Greek yogurt but expect a slightly watery texture.
Ladyfingers: Look for them in the bakery or international aisle of most grocery stores. Softer ladyfingers will soak up more coffee, crispier ones will hold their shape a bit more. Both types work. (I personally prefer the crispier kind.)
Strongly brewed coffee or espresso: Make sure it’s strongly brewed if using coffee. This will infuse more coffee flavour into the lady fingers. If you love coffee flavour also try my Tiramisu Overnight Oats for a healthy breakfast or my Coffee Chia Pudding which can be enjoyed for breakfast, a snack or dessert!
How To Make Greek Yogurt Tiramisu
*This is a recipe overview. The full recipe with measurements and instructions can be found below in the recipe card.
Step 1: Mix together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Step 2: Add the yogurt to a 9×6 baking dish.
Step 3: quickly dip the lady fingers into a bowl of espresso.
Step 4: add the lady fingers to the baking dish.
Step 5: dust with cocoa powder.
Step 6: for the best texture let sit in the fridge for at least an hour, then enjoy.
How To Store
Store Greek Yogurt Tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavours intensify as it sits, so leftovers are actually even better. I don’t recommend freezing this one, as the yogurt layer can become grainy when thawed!
Jess’s Tips
- Cool the espresso or coffee: if it’s too hot the lady fingers will fall apart when you dip them.
- Don’t over-soak the ladyfingers: A quick 1 to 2 second dip is all you need. If you hold them in the coffee too long they’ll turn mushy and release too much liquid into the yogurt.
- Use Greek yogurt with fat: For the closest tiramisu taste 5% or even 8% yogurt work best. This is the same type of yogurt I like to use for my Blueberry Greek Yogurt Popsicles.
- Let it chill for at least 1-2 hours: The resting time is what brings this dessert together. The flavours meld, the ladyfingers soften and set. You can enjoy this right away if you need but it’s better as it sits!
- Adjust sweetness to taste: Start with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and taste the yogurt before spreading. Some Greek yogurts are more tart than others, so add a touch more if you’d like it sweeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! The tiramisu is best after a full night in the fridge when everything has had time to set and the flavours have come together.
I prefer to use plain so I can adjust the sweetness to taste, but if you prefer you can use vanilla or coffee flavoured Greek yogurt for this recipe.

Description
This Greek Yogurt Tiramisu tastes like the classic Italian dessert but comes together with 6 simple ingredients and has 24 grams of protein per serving!
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups plain Greek yogurt (I use 2%)
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup, to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
- 5 to 6 ladyfingers
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a bowl and stir until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the yogurt mixture into a 9×6 baking dish. (You can also make this directly in a storage container.)
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, about 1 to 2 seconds per side, and arrange them spaced slightly apart in the baking dish with yogurt.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder.
- Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavours to set.
Notes
- Cool the coffee or espresso completely before dipping or the ladyfingers will fall apart.
- Dip each ladyfinger quickly, about 1 to 2 seconds per side (any longer and they’ll turn mushy.)
- Use 2% or higher fat Greek yogurt for the closest tiramisu flavour.
- Chill for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving (the flavours meld and the texture sets as it sits!)
