Call Yoast Meta Description Instead Of Excerpt

Hello,

This is a fantastic plugin. So before I go any further, I just want to say thank you for making it.

I do have one question about the following shortcode:

[display-posts include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail" wrapper="div"]

Instead of calling the post excerpt, how would I go about calling Yoast’s meta description?

The code looks like this:

<?php $yoast_meta_desc = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_yoast_wpseo_metadesc', true );
if ( ! empty( $yoast_meta_desc ) ) {
  echo $yoast_meta_desc;
}
?>
