Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 40 g Granulated sugar
- 225 g Mascarpone cheese
- 225 g Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 15 g Cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 200 g Ladyfingers
- 20 g Dark chocolate (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Prepare 240ml of strong espresso or coffee and set it aside to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, ensuring that they absorb liquid but do not become soggy. Lay the coffee-soaked ladyfingers in a single layer in the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone-yogurt mixture over the ladyfingers, using a spatula to smooth it evenly.
Dust the layer with half of the cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
Add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top of the first layer and spread the remaining mascarpone-yogurt mixture over the second layer.
Dust the top with the remaining cocoa powder and optionally sprinkle the grated dark chocolate over the top for added decadence.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Light Heavenly Tiramisu!
