Ingredients

  • 200g light mascarpone
  • 200g fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200ml strong espresso, cooled
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 16 sponge fingers (savoiardi)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

Method

  1. 1

    Beat mascarpone, yogurt, icing sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

  2. 2

    Mix espresso and liqueur in a shallow dish.

  3. 3

    Quickly dip sponge fingers in espresso and layer in a dish.

  4. 4

    Spread half the cream mixture over.

  5. 5

    Repeat with remaining sponge fingers and cream.

  6. 6

    Dust generously with cocoa powder.

  7. 7

    Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

Tip: Replacing half the mascarpone with Greek yogurt cuts the fat by around 40% while maintaining a creamy texture.
