🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
✓ 1/4 cup raw honey or 3 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
✓ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
✓ 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder (plus more for dusting)
✓ 18 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
✓ 1 cup cold strong espresso or very strong brewed coffee
✓ 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur or 1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in water (optional)
✓ 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for topping
✓ Dark chocolate shavings (optional, 1 tablespoon)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Combine Greek yogurt, mascarpone, honey (or monk fruit sweetener), vanilla extract, and cocoa powder in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy, being careful not to overmix. Set aside.

2. Pour cold espresso into a shallow dish and add coffee liqueur if using. Allow to cool completely.

3. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture for 2-3 seconds per side—avoid over-soaking to maintain texture.

4. Create the first layer: Arrange 9 dipped ladyfingers in a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish or equivalent.

5. Spread half of the yogurt-mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfinger layer.

6. Repeat with remaining 9 dipped ladyfingers on top of the cream layer.

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.
