Hip Tip: I’ve made this recipe twice (love my job! 😀 ) – do not make the mistake of soaking ladyfingers too long in the coffee because they will get mushy and fall apart. If you enjoy drinking your coffee a little sweetened, then consider sweetening the coffee. If you are serving a crowd, you can easily double this recipe and place in a larger 9×13 baking dish.
I’ve made this recipe twice, love this recipe! If you enjoy drinking your coffee a little sweetened, then consider sweetening the coffee.
Ive made this several times around Christmas time, but outside of the holiday season, I have trouble finding ladyfinger cookies at my local grocery store. What can I use as a substitute?
My grocery carries lady fingers in the fresh produce aisle.
Yummmmmm!! Thanks Lina your recipes are so awesome
I got some lady fingers at Dollar Tree… They have had them the last couple of times I have been there… Now in Culinary School we had to make them by hand…they were super yummy!
My maiden name was Michele Habegger! Crazy that is not a common last name.
Thank you so much for this recipe! My husband loves tiramisu!
Does anyone know of a brand of lady finger cookies that are egg-free? I love Tiramisu but have had trouble finding cookies that suit my diet.
Love tiramisu!! Enjoyed a piece of Tiramisu cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory last night for my birthday. I enjoyed every bite such a special treat 😃
Is there a non alcoholic substitution for liquor?
Just leave it out. It tastes fine without it.
But it tastes fantastic with dark rum.
The recipe my mom always made, is with round chocolate cake layers. Where I m from you can actually buy them ready made at the grocery store…but we still don’t have boxed cake mix, go figure! I know lady fingers are the original, but I had it with the cam sooo many times, I love it like a childhood memory. So it s a good sub if u can t find savoiardi. She still used the coffee but sprinkled on it instead of soaking. Yum!
I don’t add any liquor at all to mine, and I refrigerate it for 24 hours. It’s so much more flavorful that way! Always a hit at my dinner parties.
Am I missing something? It is going to take me at least 12 lady fingers to cover the bottom of an 8×8 pan!
