Ingredients
Method
Make the cream layer
- Beat the light cream cheese until smooth in a large bowl, using steady strokes to break up any lumps. Stop when it looks glossy and creamy.
- Add the plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until light and creamy with no streaks.
Assemble the tiramisu
- Quickly dip the Oreo cookies into the brewed espresso or strong coffee that is cooled. Keep the cookies moving so they absorb but don’t turn mushy.
- Arrange a layer of dipped Oreo cookies in an 8×8-inch dish. Press them lightly into an even base.
- Spread half of the cream mixture over the Oreo cookies. Smooth the top so it reaches the edges.
- Dip more Oreo cookies into the cooled coffee and arrange a second layer over the cream. Line them up so the layer is even.
- Spread the remaining cream mixture evenly over the second Oreo layer. Smooth the surface to an even thickness.
- Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu finish. Use a light, even sprinkle.
- Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies over the cocoa layer, and add mini Oreo cookies and dark chocolate shavings if using. Scatter them so every slice has a bit of crunch.
Chill and serve
- Refrigerate the dish for at least 4 hours or overnight to set the layers. Cover it to prevent the top from drying out.
- Slice and serve chilled right from the refrigerator. Wipe the knife between cuts for cleaner slices.
Notes
For best texture, dip Oreos just until coffee-coated (a quick dunk), not soaking—this prevents a wet base after chilling. Refrigerate covered for up to 3 days; freezer is not recommended because the yogurt filling can soften and weep. If you want it lower sugar, swap maple syrup/honey for a sugar-free syrup that measures cup-for-cup and keep the rest the same.
