Ingredients
- 2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 4 oz light cream cheese
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee
- 8 ladyfinger cookies
- 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, beat the light cream cheese with a hand mixer or sturdy whisk until smooth and fluffy.
- 2Add the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- 3Beat again until the mixture is completely creamy, thick, and free of lumps, about 1–2 minutes.
- 4Brew the espresso or strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature; pour into a shallow dish.
- 5Break each ladyfinger in half so they fit easily into serving cups or glasses.
- 6Quickly dip each ladyfinger half into the cooled coffee for 1–2 seconds per side—just enough to moisten without sogginess.
- 7Place two dipped halves in the bottom of each of four serving cups.
- 8Spoon a generous layer of the yogurt-cream cheese mixture over the cookies in each cup.
- 9Add another layer of dipped ladyfinger halves if space allows, then top with the remaining cream mixture.
- 10Sift unsweetened cocoa powder evenly over the tops of all cups.
- 11Finish with a few dark chocolate shavings for classic tiramisu flair.
- 12Chill at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) so the flavors meld and the texture sets; serve cold.
