Dreamy Cottage Cheese Tiramisu
An irresistible twist on the classic Italian tiramisu, this creamy dessert features layers of fluffy cottage cheese and rich coffee flavors, making it a guilt-free delight.
Ingredients
For the Cheese Mixture
- 2 cups cottage cheese, blended until smooth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For Layering
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 12 pieces ladyfinger cookies
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, blend the cottage cheese until it’s creamy and smooth. Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, pour your cooled coffee for dipping.
- Take each ladyfinger and dip it quickly into the coffee, being careful not to soak them. Lay the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer on the bottom of your preferred dish.
- Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture over the layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
- Repeat the process by adding another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining cottage cheese mixture.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
