Procedure

In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over orange concentrate. Cook, stirring, over low heat, until dissolved. Cool. In a separate small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until syrup reaches 225F or soft ball stage (when syrup is dropped in cold water, it forms a soft ball, which then dissolves). With an electric mixer, beat egg whites on medium until soft peaks form. Gradually pour syrup into egg whites, beating constantly. Continue beating until meringue is cool and very stiff. Beat in dissolved gelatin and beat for 30 seconds.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, yogurt, orange rind, and vanilla until smooth. Fold meringue into cheese mixture, 1/3 at a time.

Dip lady fingers in coffee (do several at a time). Arrange half in the bottom of a deep glass bowl or casserole dish. Cover with half of the meringue mixture. Sprinkle with 1 Tb cocoa. Repeat layers. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Best served same day.
