What goes into Yogurt Tiramisu Cups (Smetannik-Style)
This one comes together in two parts, each doing its own job:
- Cream. Built from 1 1/2 cups greek yogurt + 1/2 cup sour cream (smetana) and a few others.
- To assemble. Built from 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled) + 1 tsp honey and a few others.
How to make it
Bake and cool the honey-oat sponge; cut into small fingers.
Whisk yogurt, sour cream, honey and vanilla into a thick cream.
Sweeten the cooled coffee with honey.
In 4 glasses, layer: coffee-dipped sponge fingers, cream, dusting of cocoa; repeat.
