After seeing how much love my classic rice cake tiramisu got, I knew I had to make a seasonal special for pumpkin season. To be honest, I actually wasn't expecting it to be this good; Maybe because I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin spice foods.

But even then, this was AMAZING! Husband was definitely looking for more after we split this, haha.

Ingredients for Rice Cake Tiramisu

This high protein rice cake tiramisu uses rice cakes instead of ladyfingers and is sweetened with protein powder for a healthy dessert alternative. Plus, it's gluten-free and dairy-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.

Rice Cakes; I recommend caramel rice cakes, but regular plain ones work too
Brewed Coffee: The essential soaking liquid to give your dessert that classic, rich tiramisu flavor.
Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
Non-fat Greek Yogurt: Boosts the protein content and lightens up the texture of the cream.
Pumpkin Puree (Make sure its not pumpkin pie filling)
Vanilla Protein Powder; This is the source of sweetness to make a no-sugar rice cake pumpkin tiramisu recipe; I used Quest Nutrition's Vanilla protein powder
Pumpkin Pie Spice
A bit of Unsweetened Almond Milk to help htin the mixture. Avoid this if you use whey protein.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder for dusting.

Alternate Ingredient Options for Your No Bake Pumpkin Tiramisu

Ingredient	Substitute Option	Notes
Reduced Fat Cream Cheese	Neufchâtel cheese or Dairy-free Cashew Cream Cheese	Will maintain a similar texture, but the macros will change.
Non-fat Greek Yogurt	Skyr or Low-fat Cottage Cheese Coconut Yogurt	Cottage cheese must be fully blended into the cream until smooth. Use an immersion blender.
Vanilla Protein Powder	Peanut Butter or Salted Caramel Protein Powder
Rice Cakes	Thin, high-protein crackers (like Wasa)	These can replace the rice cakes but need to be soaked very quickly.

How to Make the best Rice Cake Pumpkin Tiramisu

Just before serving, use a sieve to dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Make the pumpkin cream filling by beating the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin pie spice and milk (only add as little as needed).
Tip: Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so your pumpkin cream mixture is completely smooth and has no lumps.

Soak the Crust: Quickly and gently dip one rice cake into the brewed coffee, then immediately place it into a large ramekin or serving dish.
Tip: Be quick! Rice cakes absorb liquid very quickly, so soaking too long will make them soggy and hard to handle.

Layer One: Spread half of the pumpkin cream mixture over the soaked rice cake, using the back of a spoon to create an even layer.

Layer Two: Repeat the process: dip the second rice cake in coffee and place it on top of the cream, followed by the remaining pumpkin cream mixture.

Cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Tip: Don't skip the resting time since it is needed for the flavors to blend.
Dust with cocoa powder and enjoy!

Equipment

10/10 recommend using good hand mixer for the cream cheese frosting. I love this cordless one from KitchenAid, but you can use the regular one too.

Or use a good immersion blender here. I love this cordless one from KitchenAid, but you can use a regular blender too.
