31 g protein, 10 g fibre, 315 calories: Mumbai fitness coach shares healthy tiramisu recipe

Imagine digging a spoon into layers of velvety mascarpone, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and a generous dusting of rich cocoa powder. Tiramisu is the ultimate Italian indulgence—a heavenly balance of bold espresso, creamy sweetness, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Unfortunately, this classic dessert is traditionally packed with heavy cream, refined sugar, and empty calories, making it a certified guilty pleasure. But what if you could have your cake and eat it too? For fitness lovers, Mumbai-based nutritionist Vanshika Khurana has shared an easy-to-make, homemade, and truly decadent tiramisu recipe that allows you to satisfy your sweet tooth completely guilt-free.

Tiramisu: Ingredients required

40g chocolate oats
1 tbsp of cocoa powder

1 tbsp of chia seeds
1/2 tbsp of pumpkin seeds
1 shot of espresso (instant coffee + water)
1-2 walnuts
50–80 ml of skimmed milk
Sweetener of choice

For toppings, Vanshika Khurana used 120g skyr, a pinch of cinnamon, sea salt and 1 tsp of honey.

Tiramisu: How to make

To make the tasty homemade tiramisu, Vanshika Khurana begins by tossing the chocolate oats, cocoa powder, fiber-rich chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, a shot of espresso, skimmed milk, and a sweetener of choice into a blender. Everything is blended thoroughly until the mixture reaches a beautifully smooth, creamy consistency. In a separate bowl, she prepares the topping by smoothly combining the thick skyr, a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of sea salt, and honey.

Once both elements are ready, Vanshika Khurana transfers the blended chocolate-espresso oat mixture into a jar (or serving bowl) to form the decadent base. The seasoned skyr mixture is then spread evenly over the top, creating that signature, luscious cream layer synonymous with the classic Italian dessert. For the ultimate texture and flavor fusion, Vanshika places the jar in the refrigerator to set overnight, though a chill time of at least 4 to 6 hours works beautifully for those short on time. Just before serving, a light dusting of cocoa powder is added on top to complete this guilt-free masterpiece.
