Oh, I bet your mom's Tiramisu was fantastic! Anytime a recipe is all homemade, it is much better.

I would never substitute Lady Fingers with Twinkies, etc. I want the true taste of the Tiramisu or it would be a waste of my time. I can't wait to find the Lady Fingers. I'm calling our local Big Lots right now. Thanks!

Mother just made Lady Fingers for dessert. She never made Tiramisu - probably had never heard of it. We just had Lady Fingers & hot tea. They were very, very good.

Great simple recipe that I use all the time for my Tiramisu....I make these the day before...you can add almond, vanilla, or other flavoring. My friend uses lemon for a distinct flavor and sometimes orange...or you can just follow the recipe they are all good!

I just looked at the recipe below and they really sound like they would be good, alone, for a dessert!

Thank you for this recipe. I just may have to resort to it. Sounds very easy.

They were tasty & we liked them. They were a different kind of a treat back then.

That's OK, but how funny that you found what I was looking for! lol I'll find them eventually.

Good morning!

Just checking up on you!

Have you managed to make your Tiramisu yet....? x

I just saw Melissa D'Arabian (hate her

) make an "economy" version of Tiramisu yesterday using pound cake soaked in sweetened espresso. Might work well if you can't find the lady fingers.

You know, I read somewhere that pound cake could be used. I will probably resort to that. Thanks for the tip!

Harrysmum · 07-02-2012, 07:28 AM

Lila, I think you can get them on Amazon....

That's where I find mine also. We also have a bakery in town that makes them.

I love to use them to make strawberry shortcake.
