What pistachio spread do you recommend?
My favorite is Pistakio, but any pistachio spread works well!

Pistachio Cottage Cheese Tiramisu
Creamy high protein tiramisu made with pistachio spread and chopped pistachios.
Servings 9 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups 4% cottage cheese (I recommend Good Culture for best texture and taste)
- ½ cup mascarpone cheese
- â…“ cup pistachio butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12-14 ladyfingers
- ½ cup cold brew or brewed espresso
- â…“ cup finely chopped pistachios
Instructions
- In a food processor, add cottage cheese, mascarpone, pistachio butter and vanilla extract. Process until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness, as desired. Feel free to add 1-2 tbsp of maple syrup for more sweetness if the pistachio butter isn't sweet enough. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add coffee to a bowl and take out a square dish (I used ~32 oz, 6×6’). Measure the cookies so ~4 fit into the the dish, trimming if necessary to fit.
- Dip lady fingers one by one into the cold coffee, coating completely but quickly. Place in a single layer into loaf pan, top with 1/3rd of cottage cheese mixture and smooth over with a spatula. Repeat with 2 more layers. Top with finely chopped pistachios.
- Wrap the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.Â
