Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Low-fat cream cheese
- 200 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 300 ml Espresso or strong coffee
- 10 pieces Ladyfinger cookies
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 10 grams Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat cream cheese, low-fat Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the espresso or strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
Dip each ladyfinger cookie into the cooled coffee for about 2-3 seconds per side to soak lightly. Be careful not to let them become too soggy.
In a small baking dish or individual serving glasses, layer the ingredients: Start with a layer of the coffee-soaked ladyfingers, followed by a generous layer of the cream cheese and yogurt mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the cream cheese and yogurt mixture on top.
Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder over the top layer using a fine-mesh sieve for even coverage.
Optional: Grate a small amount of dark chocolate over the top for an extra touch of indulgence.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy your low-fat tiramisu!
