Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 ml espresso or strong coffee
- 2 tablespoons marsala wine
- 200 grams ladyfingers
- 250 grams low-fat cream cheese
- 150 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 25 grams dark chocolate, grated
- 75 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
Prepare the coffee and let it cool, then add the marsala wine and stir. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish that can comfortably fit the ladyfingers.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Beat together until smooth and creamy.
Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar to the cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
Dip each ladyfinger in the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not too soggy. Lay half of them at the bottom of a rectangular dish, covering the base completely.
Spread half of the chocolate cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Use a spatula to smooth out the surface.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers dipped in coffee and cover with the rest of the chocolate cream.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and firm up.
Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder and sprinkle with grated dark chocolate for decoration.
Cut into portions and serve chilled.
