Method
- Mix the ricotta cheese with the yogurt and sugar in a large bowl. Add the hazelnuts and vanilla extract and stir until well combined.
- Pour the cold coffee into a small bowl and mix in the cinnamon.
- Quickly dip half the sponge fingers in the coffee and then place in the base of a rectangular serving dish (30 x 22cm and at least 5cm deep).
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture on top. Repeat the process with the rest of the ingredients.
- Cover the dish with clingfilm and leave to rest in the fridge for 15 mins. Just before serving, dust the top with the cocoa powder.
