Ingredients

2 tsp espresso coffee powder
1 tbsp coffee liqueur
3 tbsp maple syrup
250g tub quark (from the chiller cabinet)
½ tsp vanilla extract
100g fat-free vanilla yogurt
10 sponge fingers
Cocoa powder, for dusting

Method

Stir the coffee into 50ml boiling water in a bowl, then cool. Stir in the liqueur and 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
In another bowl, beat the quark, vanilla and remaining maple syrup until smooth. Stir in the yogurt.
Break the sponge fingers in half. Dip 2 pieces briefly into the coffee syrup and put in a wine glass or a shallow dessert glass. Repeat with 3 more glasses. Spoon over some of the quark mixture, then repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, using 3 sponge finger halves per glass for the second layer. Place the glasses on a tray and chill for 1 hour.
Dust the desserts with a little cocoa powder to serve.
