no bake tiramisu cheesecake jars (with cottage cheese)
These No Bake Tiramisu Cheesecake Jars are a fun twist on the classic, with creamy cottage cheese filling, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and a cocoa dusting—no oven needed!
Servings 4 8oz jars
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cottage cheese (I use Good Culture 2% low-fat)
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mascarpone
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp vanilla bean paste (sub 2 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1/2 cup freshly brewed coffee (chilled)
- 2 packages of Lady fingers
- 2 tbsp cacao (for dusting)
Instructions
- Brew espresso or strong coffee and let it cool slightly. Pour into a shallow dish.
- In a food processor, blend cottage cheese, mascarpone, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and creamy.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee—just a second or two so they don’t get too soggy.
- Layer the bottom of each jar with coffee-soaked ladyfingers, followed by a scoop of the cheesecake filling. Repeat the layers until the jars are full, ending with a layer of filling on top.
- Dust with cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to set. Enjoy chilled!
Equipment
Notes
- Don’t over-soak the ladyfingers – A quick dip is all you need! Too long and they’ll fall apart when layering.
- Blend until smooth – For the creamiest texture, blend the filling well—but avoid over-blending so it doesn’t get too runny.
- Even better the next day – Letting the jars chill overnight gives the flavors time to meld and makes the texture extra dreamy.
