Ingredients
  

Oreo cookies
  • 20 Oreo cookies Divide for layering and topping.
Cream layer
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 8 oz light cream cheese Softened for easy mixing.
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup or honey Use to sweeten.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional) Optional, for extra protein.
Coffee & espresso
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
  • 0.5 cup brewed coffee, cooled Brew and cool completely before dipping Oreos.
Topping & flavor
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder For generous dusting.
  • 2 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips (optional) Optional crunch on top.

Equipment

  • 1 8x8-inch dish

Method
 

Make the coffee mixture
  1. Brew the coffee and stir in the instant espresso powder. Let it cool completely, until no longer warm.
Mix the cream layer
  1. Beat together the Greek yogurt, light cream cheese, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and vanilla protein powder until smooth. Stop when the mixture looks creamy and lump-free.
Assemble the tiramisu
  1. Briefly dip each Oreo into the cooled coffee. Use a quick dip so the cookies stay intact and don’t turn mushy.
Layer 1
  1. Arrange a layer of dipped Oreos in an 8×8-inch dish. Spread them evenly to cover the bottom.
Add cream layer 1
  1. Spread half of the cream mixture over the cookies. Smooth the surface so it covers the Oreos fully.
Layer 2
  1. Repeat with another layer of dipped Oreos and the remaining cream mixture. Finish by smoothing the top cream layer.
Top and chill
  1. Dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Add enough so the top looks well-coated and matte.
Finish topping
  1. Sprinkle crushed Oreos and mini dark chocolate chips over the top. Press very lightly so the toppings adhere.
Refrigerate
  1. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Chill until the dessert sets firmly for clean slices.

Notes

Pro tip: dip Oreos fast—just a quick dunk—so they absorb coffee without falling apart, and use fully cooled coffee for clean layers. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days; freezing is not recommended due to texture. For a lower-sugar swap, use your preferred zero-sugar sweetener in place of maple syrup or honey if desired.
