Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup crumbled crackers (graham or any other bisks, such as wholegrain)
  • 100 ml (about 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) espresso, cooled
  • 2 tsp maple syrup or preferred sweetener
  • 2 heaped tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 heaped tbsp mascarpone cheese
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

Step 1: Brew the Espresso

  • Prepare 100 ml (about ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) of espresso and let it cool completely. Avoid using hot espresso, as it can make the cracker base too soft.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Mixture

  • In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and mascarpone cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.

  • Add the honey and mix well, adjusting the sweetness to your preference. If the mixture feels too thick, you can add a splash of plant-based milk to loosen it slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Cracker Base

  • Crumble the crackers into small, even pieces—avoiding crushing them too finely to retain some texture.

  • Gradually add the cooled espresso to the crumbled crackers, stirring gently to ensure even coating. Use just enough to soften them without making them soggy.

Step 4: Assemble the Dessert

  • Divide the soaked crumbs evenly between serving glasses (such as mason jars, dessert cups, or small bowls).

  • Press the crumbs down with the back of a spoon to form a firm base layer. The base should feel slightly compact but not too dense.

Step 5: Layer the Cream

  • Spoon the prepared yogurt-mascarpone mixture over the cracker base, spreading it evenly. Aim for a thick, creamy layer that balances the base.

Step 6: Chill the Tiramisu

  • Cover the glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for the best flavor and texture. Chilling helps the layers set and enhances the taste.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

  • Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder using a fine sieve for an even finish.

  • Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings for added flavor and presentation.
