Ingredients
4 cups (908 g) nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
2 tbsp (30 g) brewed espresso, cooled
1 tsp (2 g) espresso powder
1 tsp (5 g) vanilla bean paste
2 tbsp (40 g) maple syrup
8 ladyfinger cookies (about 88 g)
1 tbsp (5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Pinch of salt
Notes
Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Variations/substitutions: use strong instant espresso dissolved in a little water if you don't have brewed espresso; swap maple syrup for honey or a sugar substitute to taste. For a thicker texture, use strained Greek yogurt or drain some whey. Nutrition note: recipe provided as ~280 Calories and ~26 g protein per serving (as listed in the source).
Preparation
1
In a large bowl, pour in the cooled brewed espresso and whisk into the nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt until smooth.
2
Add the espresso powder, vanilla bean paste, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
3
Break the ladyfinger cookies into pieces (or layer whole, if you prefer) and gently fold them into the yogurt mixture so they're evenly distributed.
4
Transfer the mixture to individual bowls or a single serving dish and sprinkle the top evenly with cocoa powder.
5
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight) to allow the ladyfingers to soften and the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
