This is one of many in our new High Protein Tiramisu series. Here’s how it all started:

Thomas has been working long, 12-hour shifts out in the field, so I’ve been making a lot of small, portable meals he can take with him. Most of them were savory, but at some point you just want something sweet that doesn’t feel pointless.

I kept seeing those simple yogurt-and-cookie desserts floating around online, and it reminded me how close tiramisu already is to that idea. Soft cookies, creamy layers, no baking. So instead of eating yogurt straight from the tub, I turned it into something that actually feels like a treat, but gives him enough protein to keep from crashing.

These High-Protein Tiramisu S’mores Cups have the structure of tiramisu, the flavor of a classic s’more, and enough protein to make them genuinely satisfying.

Why High-Protein Tiramisu?

Traditional tiramisu is already pretty minimal. Swapping part of the mascarpone for high-protein Greek yogurt keeps the texture rich without making this feel like a “protein dessert.”

One cup is creamy, nostalgic, and more filling than you’d expect.

Why Cups?

Because they take under five minutes to assemble and are easy to grab from the fridge. I usually make four at a time, and they’re perfect for long days, meal prep, or when you want a small dessert that actually hits the spot.

Microwave Ganache

FAQ: High-Protein Tiramisu S’mores

Is this a high-protein tiramisu?

Yes. This version uses high-protein Greek yogurt as the base, which adds a solid protein boost, plus additional protein from the mascarpone and graham crackers. It’s not meant to be a fitness recipe, but it is more filling than traditional tiramisu or most no-bake desserts.

Does this taste like a “protein dessert”?

No, and that’s the point. Keeping mascarpone in the filling is what makes this taste like a real dessert. The yogurt adds protein without changing the texture or flavor in a noticeable way. The yogurt also is added more for the flavor profile than anything.

How much protein is in one serving?

It depends on the yogurt and chocolate you use, but one cup usually ends up with around 20–25 grams of protein, which is more than a lot of protein bars, while feeling way more satisfying.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. These are ideal for meal prep. You can make them 2–3 days in advance and store them covered in the fridge. The texture actually improves as the layers soften.

Do the graham crackers get soggy?

They soften, but in a good way, similar to tiramisu ladyfingers. If you prefer more texture, keep the ganache layer slightly thicker to help protect the crackers.

Can I make this without marshmallow fluff?

You can, but it will be less sweet and less fluffy. If you skip it, you may want to add a little extra mascarpone or sweetener to balance the filling.

Can I use honey or maple syrup instead of caster sugar?

Absolutely. Both work well here and add a slightly warmer flavor. Just add a little at a time and taste as you go.

Is this meant to be dessert or a snack?

Either. These work as a dessert, a light night post-workout snack, or even a mid-shift meal. That’s kind of the whole point.

Can I switch up the flavors?

Yes! We actually have a full series on this. Check out all of our versions here! If there aren’t many recipes yet just know that is because we are trying to get them up ASAP.

How should I store leftovers?

Keep them covered in the fridge. They’ll stay good for up to 3 days, though the graham crackers will continue to soften over time.
