Ingredients
  

Oreo cookies
  • 24 Oreo cookies
Plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cup plain Greek yogurt
Light cream cheese
  • 8 oz light cream cheese, softened
Maple syrup or honey
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup or honey
Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
  • 1 dark chocolate shavings for garnish Optional.

Equipment

  • 1 8x8-inch baking dish
  • 1 hand mixer

Method
 

Prep the coffee
  1. Brew the espresso or coffee and allow it to cool completely. Visual cue: it should feel no longer warm to the touch before dipping.
Make the creamy filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Visual cue: no lumps remain and the mixture looks glossy.
  2. Add Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, then mix until creamy. Visual cue: the texture becomes thick, smooth, and uniform in color.
Assemble the tiramisu
  1. Quickly dip each Oreo into the cooled coffee for about 1 second. Visual cue: the cookie should be dampened but not falling apart.
  2. Arrange a layer of dipped Oreos in the bottom of an 8×8-inch dish. Visual cue: cookies form an even, single layer.
  3. Spread half of the yogurt mixture evenly over the cookies. Visual cue: the top looks level with no dry cookie edges showing.
  4. Repeat with another layer of dipped Oreos. Visual cue: the second layer sits flat and covered at the edges.
  5. Finish with the remaining cream mixture. Visual cue: the surface is fully coated and smooth.
Chill and serve
  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Visual cue: it firms up enough to cut clean slices.
  2. Dust generously with cocoa powder before serving. Visual cue: a thick cocoa layer sits on top with a dry, matte finish.
  3. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Visual cue: dark curls add a contrasting top layer.

Notes

Pro tip: dip Oreos for only ~1 second so the layers stay intact and creamy, not soggy. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 4 days; freeze is not recommended because the yogurt mixture can change texture. For a lighter option, use honey-flavored Greek yogurt or reduce the maple syrup slightly if your cookies are very sweet.
