Fit tiramisu is a healthy adaptation of the classic Italian dessert. Instead of refined sugar, date syrup or honey is used; instead of heavy cream, labneh and strained yogurt; and instead of store-bought biscuits, homemade healthy ladyfingers are prepared. This makes the dessert lower in calories and more balanced in protein. With its coffee aroma and light cream, it’s a delightful treat even for those on a diet.
