Lately, I’ve been making a lot of high-protein tiramisus for my fiancé to take to work for his breakfasts. They’ve been great for busy mornings, but at some point I realized I wanted something a little more indulgent for myself at home.

We’re also in the very beginning stages of thinking about an engagement party. Nothing planned yet (friends and family relax! You have not missed an invite!) but we have started playing with desserts we will be prepping. This tiramisu is one of the desserts I found while playing around with ideas. It’s great because it’s Light, no-bake, easy to portion, and not overly rich.

It still feels springy and fresh, but the caramelized peaches give it a bit of depth. The brandy is cooked into the caramel, so the alcohol burns off, and what’s left is just warmth and flavor. I ended up making this as a small after-dinner pick-me-up, and it’s exactly the kind of dessert I keep going back to.

oh! And if you aren’t feeling this boozy version, we have our Maple Peach Tiramisu coming your way ASAP!

❓ FAQ

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This tiramisu actually benefits from a little chill time. You can make it a few hours ahead and store it covered in the fridge until serving.

Is the brandy very strong?

Not at all. It adds warmth and depth rather than an obvious alcohol flavor. If you prefer, you can reduce the amount or leave it out entirely.

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

Absolutely. Just peel and chop ripe peaches and cook them a bit longer to help them soften and release their juices.

What can I use instead of ladyfingers?

Soft tea biscuits or sponge cake cut into strips work well if you don’t have ladyfingers on hand.

Is this very sweet?

It’s balanced. The Greek yogurt keeps the mascarpone cream from feeling heavy or overly sweet, while the peaches add natural fruitiness.

• HIGH PROTEIN TIRAMISU: S’MORES
  This recipe is probably my favorite dessert, protein or not. It tastes absolutely insane, it has over 20 grams of protein per each tiramisu.

• HIGH PROTEIN TIRAMISU: LONDON FOG
  My absolute favorite drink in the fall is a London Fog. I always forget all about them until the weather gets chilly and Gilmore Girls is on the TV (you’d think that would make me crave coffee, but whatever). This was Thomas’ first Tiramisu that wasn’t coffee and he was a big fan so definitely give this one a try.

• LEMON BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE CUPS
  This is a small batch version of one of our most popular summer recipe. It went absolutely viral in Germany last year on our sister blog Whisk & Wunder. This one isn’t high protein but man is it good!
