Tiramisu is typically a hot favorite on everyone’s dessert list, and this is one classic Italian recipe that has fans all around the world. The traditional Tiramisu is indeed hard to replicate at home, and can get a bit tedious.

This is the perfect blog for anyone who wants to know about this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I really would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
I am glad to note that lady's finger is a biscuit. I was in Asia and lady's finger refer to what we call Okra here!!
Hope – you have to use ladyfingers or sponge fingers only for the recipe. Biscuits are basically "savoiardi biscuits", which are similar, but not exactly same as ladyfingers, which is the more common ingredient(pre-made cake biscuits) found in stores.
So you can use either of them…hope this clears the confusion:)
ok, now I'm confused, does the recipe call for soft ladyfingers or hard biscotti….the word biscuit is confusing
This seems to be really quick and easy version of Tiramisu…..thanks for sharing
Hi Pari – yes, Ladysfinger means the espresso flavored biscuits used in making Tiramisu

Yum! I love tiramisu but have always been a little scared of attempting it at home. Now I have no excuse not to try it!
