Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Shallow plate or bowl (for dipping bread in coffee)
- Serving dish or container
Ingredients
- 2 slices of brown bread
- 100 g low-fat paneer cottage cheese
- 75 g curd plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon peanut butter
- Brewed coffee cooled
- A few drops of vanilla essence optional
- Zero-calorie sweetener optional
Instructions
- Make the Creamy Layer:
- First, I blend together the paneer, curd, honey, and a little vanilla essence (if I want extra flavor).
- If I need more sweetness, I might add a zero-calorie sweetener.
- I blend until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Bread:
- I trim the edges off the brown bread slices.
- Then, I briefly dip each slice in the cooled coffee. I’m careful not to soak them too much so they don’t become soggy.
- Start Layering:
- I place one coffee-soaked bread slice at the bottom of my serving dish.
- Next, I spread a thick layer of the creamy mixture on top.
- On the second slice, I spread a thin layer of peanut butter, dip it in coffee, and then place it on top of the cream layer.
- Final Touches:
- I add another layer of cream on top of the second bread slice.
- Finally, I dust the top with cocoa powder for a classic Tiramisu look.
- Chill & Serve:
- I pop the Tiramisu into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so all the flavors can come together.
- Once it’s chilled, it’s ready to eat. Yum!
Notes
- Don’t oversoak the bread: If the bread gets too wet, it can turn mushy. A quick dip is enough.
- Blend carefully: Make sure there are no lumps in your paneer and curd mix. If it’s still lumpy, blend a bit longer.
- Chill properly: Giving your Tiramisu at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator makes it extra delicious.
