🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and calories, while cream cheese is often more affordable.

ladyfingers

🥗Healthier: whole grain ladyfingers

💰Cheaper: sponge cake

Whole grain options provide more fiber, and sponge cake can be a budget-friendly substitute.

Whip 1.5 cups of heavy cream and put it in the fridge until needed.

Mix rum into the brewed coffee.

In a bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, about 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and sugar, mixing until creamy.

Add a dollop of whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture and mix well with a whisk.

Fold in the remaining whipped cream gently using a spatula until incorporated.

Open the package of Italian lady fingers (savoyardi) and dunk them in the coffee and rum mixture.

Layer the soaked lady fingers at the bottom of the dish.

Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the lady fingers.

Sift cocoa powder over the cream layer.

Repeat the process with another layer of soaked lady fingers and the remaining cream mixture.

Clean the edges of the dish with a paper towel.

Dust the top with cocoa powder and clean the edges again.

Refrigerate uncovered for 4 to 6 hours before serving.

Cut and serve the tiramisu after it has set in the fridge.
