Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Dip each ladyfinger into the brewed espresso quickly to avoid oversaturation.
  3. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in a dish.
  4. Spread half of the yogurt mixture over the ladyfingers.
  5. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers and cream mixture.
  6. Dust with cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and mascarpone.
