NutritionBabes Tiramisu

Tiramisu is a popular Italian cake that literally means “pick me up”!  Typically it is made of biscuits dipped in espresso, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone cheese and flavored with liquor and cocoa.  The NutritionBabes have adapted this indulgence to give you a “pick me up and keep me going” all day long dessert!  We’ve incorporated Chobani Greek yogurt, which allows you to gain 17 g protein with fewer calories and fat from your Italian splurge!  Enjoy! 

6 oz Vanilla 0% fat Greek yogurt
1/8 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1 dark chocolate 70% cocoa square (.1 oz) finely grated or chopped and separated
1 lady finger cookie finely chopped

In a small bowl mix together vanilla yogurt, instant coffee granules and 1/3 amount of dark chocolate.  Spoon the yogurt mixture into a small glass cup or glass berry bowl.  Layer the lady finger cookie on top and then remainder of dark chocolate.  Gently press the cookie and chocolate layer into the yogurt with the back side of a spoon, allowing the cookie and chocolate to remain visible as the top layer.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 hours or overnight.
