Melon and Yogurt Tiramisù

Here is the recipe for Melon and Yogurt Tiramisù, a summery and lighter version of the classic tiramisù. This version is perfect for those looking for a refreshing and less rich dessert.

Ingredients

• 250 g of Greek yogurt
• 200 g of ladyfingers (or similar biscuits)
• 1 ripe melon
• 100 g of powdered sugar
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Unsweetened cocoa powder for decoration
• Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Preparation

1. Start by preparing the yogurt cream: in a bowl, mix Greek yogurt with powdered sugar until you get a homogeneous mixture. If you prefer a softer consistency, you could add some whipped cream.
2. Peel the melon, remove the seeds and cut it into small cubes. Keep some cubes aside for the final garnish.
3. Season the melon cubes with lemon juice to enhance the flavor and prevent oxidation.
4. Set aside some whole ladyfingers for decoration and crumble others into smaller pieces for the layers.
5. Assemble the tiramisù in transparent glasses or in a dish: create the first layer with crumbled ladyfingers, cover with some of the yogurt cream, then distribute a layer of melon cubes.
6. Repeat the layers until the glasses or dish are filled, finishing with the yogurt cream.
7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
8. Before serving, dust the surface with some unsweetened cocoa and decorate with the melon cubes set aside, the whole ladyfingers and, if you wish, some fresh mint leaves.

This variation of tiramisù is without coffee and eggs, making it suitable for those who follow special diets or for children. The addition of melon makes it pleasantly fresh and aromatic, perfect for summer. The use of Greek yogurt also gives the dessert a creamy texture and a tangy note that beautifully complements the sweetness of the fruit.
