Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Low-fat cream cheese
- 150 grams Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters Espresso or strong coffee
- 14 pieces Ladyfinger cookies
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 10 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the low-fat cream cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Brew a fresh cup of espresso or strong coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the coffee, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular dish or dessert serving cups.
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and cream cheese mixture to create a second layer.
Using a fine mesh sieve, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder for a classic finish. Optionally, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings on top for added flavor and presentation.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cut into portions (if using a large dish) and serve chilled. Enjoy!
