Orange fruit Charlotte

Fruit Charlotte is the dessert everyone loves for its light and airy feel at the end of a meal. 

Drain the canned peaches or apricots, and reserve the juice. Dice the fruits. Combine 2 cups Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar (made ahead by scraping the seeds of a vanilla bean into regular sugar, then immersing the bean in the sugar for about a week to let flavors develop).

Prepare the cake mold. Quickly soak each ladyfinger in the fruit syrup and place against the walls of the cake mold. Then alternate pouring in a layer of Greek yogurt and a layer of fruit until there is none left.

Store in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
