Preheat your oven to 140°C (285°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the sugar is fully dissolved.
Gently fold in the almond extract, ground almonds, and powdered sugar until just combined.
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle.
Pipe the meringue into finger-like shapes, approximately 8 cm long, onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the meringue is dry and firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the filling, mix the low-fat vanilla yogurt with the low-calorie sweetener until smooth and set aside in the refrigerator.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave in short bursts) until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Once the meringue shells are cool, gently sandwich a small amount of the yogurt filling between two pieces, pressing lightly to spread the filling to the edges.
Dip each end of the filled meringue fingers into the melted chocolate and allow the chocolate to set on parchment paper.
Store the bokkenpootjes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
