7. Top with remaining yogurt-mascarpone mixture, spreading evenly to the edges.
8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing flavors to meld and texture to set.
9. Just before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder using a fine sieve. Add dark chocolate shavings if desired.
10. Cut into 6 equal portions and serve chilled.
