Ladyfingers

Ladyfingers (also known as savoiardi) are light, slightly crisp sponge biscuits made from whipped batter of flour, eggs, and sugar. Thanks to their porous structure, they readily absorb liquids, making them an indispensable component of desserts such as tiramisu, charlotte, and trifle. They are used as the base for fruit cakes, layered dessert cups, and no-bake cakes. They can also be enjoyed on their own alongside coffee or tea. Classic ladyfingers have a gently sweetened, lightly eggy flavor. They come in elongated finger shapes or round slices. They are also popular in children's nutrition for their simple recipe and easy digestibility.
