Deep notes of espresso and bittersweet cacao meld with a velvety cottage cheese and soy protein cream in this Overnight Tiramisu Bread Pudding. By soaking rye bread in a mocha-infused mixture and letting it rest in the fridge, the components soften into a cohesive, cake-like texture that makes for a balanced breakfast or a protein-forward afternoon snack.

The assembly relies on alternating layers of the coffee-soaked bread and a tangy, whipped protein cheesecake filling. A light dusting of cocoa powder and the occasional crunch of cacao nibs provide the finishing touch, mimicking the classic Italian dessert while keeping things practical for a busy morning routine.

Preparing this in advance is key to achieving the right consistency, as the bread needs time to absorb the liquid thoroughly. Whether you reach for a spoon straight from your favorite mug or assemble it in a small container for work, it offers a functional way to satisfy a craving for something indulgent without the need for traditional baking.

Method

1. Mix ingredients for the mocha layer together2. Break the bread into 2 squares3. Add 1/4 of the mocha mixture at the bottom of ur box/ mug/ anything4. Layer half bread on top and spread on 1/4 mocha batter again5. Mix ingredients for cheese layer together (excluding cacao nibs)6. Add half cheese mixture on top (I’ve added some cacao nibs inside afterwards – but sprinkled in the middle but not until the side so u won’t see it)7. Be Careful: now spread 1/4 mocha mixture on the other half bread, then flip it upside down (so the spreaded side is facing down)8. Add remaining mocha mixture on top9. Layer the remaining cheesecake layer10. Cover it and refrigerate for a night11. Next morning, dust cacao powder on top

Notes

1. U can add more sweetener into the mocha mixture if it’s too bitter for u or simply reduce the amount of coffee n cacao powder but make sure to reduce the amount of liquid2. I’m adding nutritional yeast for extra cheesy taste so u can omit it/ add more cottage cheese. For non-vegan, u can also try adding dairy cheese powder3. If u are using some kind of thick yogurt like Greek or coconut yogurt, u may wish to add more liquid if the cheese mixture is too thick// also adjust sweetness accordingly4. Authentic tiramisu doesn’t have any cacao nibs but who cares they are amazing!!!
