Pistachios are still very much having a moment – with pistachio chocolates on the supermarket shelves and pistachio coffees in the big coffee shop chains. Now we’ve brought these three firm flavour friends together in one epic dessert.
Our pistachio tiramisu pots feature layer after layer of deliciousness, fit perfectly into the Slimming World plan, and take just 15 minutes to make. It’s a win, win, win!

Slimming World pistachio tiramisu recipe
serves 4
11 Swips per serving (deduct 7½ Swips if using the pistachios as a Healthy Extra healthy fats choice)
ready in 15 mins plus 30 minutes chilling
Tip: Prefer to lose the booze? Dissolve the coffee in 200ml just-boiled water and add a dash of almond extract. Count 10 Swips per serving and deduct 7½ Swips if using the nuts as a healthy fats choice.
What you need:
100g plain shelled pistachios
500g fat-free natural Greek yogurt
3 level tbsp sweetener granules
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp instant espresso coffee powder
25ml amaretto liqueur
8 sponge fingers, roughly broken
2 level tsp cocoa powder
What you do:
1. Finely chop the pistachios (or blitz in a small food processor) to make a rough crumb, then set aside. Mix together the yogurt, sweetener and vanilla extract. Dissolve the coffee in 175ml just-boiled water and stir in the amaretto.
2. Divide half the sponge fingers between 4 dessert glasses. Drizzle over half the coffee mixture and leave it to soak into the sponge fingers for 1-2 minutes. Divide over half the yogurt mixture, scatter with 1 level tsp cocoa powder, then divide over half the pistachios. Repeat the layers, finishing with the pistachios. Chill for at least 30 minutes, or the pots will happily sit in the fridge for up to a day before serving.
