Summary

My high-protein pumpkin tiramisu is a tasty fall dessert that’s super creamy, indulgent, and packed with protein (6g per serving, to be exact!). i absolutely love my cottage cheese tiramisu crepe roll and my tiramisu blended overnight oats, and knew as soon as psl season was here, it was time to develop a pumpkin tiramisu recipe! obviously, a high-protein version 😋. i can’t wait for you to make this recipe in your own kitchens — my family gobbles it up every time i make it!

Tips and Warnings

  • I let the espresso powder sit in the heavy cream to allow the flavors to bloom before assembly.
  • * I measure the cottage cheese after it has been blended. This is to ensure that it isn’t too thin.
