| Tiramisu - Need help I am making a recipe called Tiramisu. I found all the ingredients I need except the Lady Fingers. What are Lady Fingers? Some reviews said they used hard ones and others said they used the soft ones. Are they like Zingers or Twinkies? Has anyone made this before?

| They are oblong shaped, soft cookies...you can probably find them in the cookie isle. If I remember correctly I think they have an almond flavor to them...I think |

| They are the hard ladyfingers, called saviordi. If you use soft ones, they would soak up too much espresso and would become too mushy. Let us know how your tiramisu turns out. I might make one for July 4th. |

Lady Fingers - 1 box, 1 lb: Amazon.com: Grocery &... I think they may have started out harder and softened up from all the ingredients.

| You may find the softer variety in the fresh fruit section of your grocery store.

| My mother says that Trader Joe's carries the Ladyfingers I don't know if you have that chain of stores in Texas or not?

So they make hard ones and soft ones? Isn't it supposed to be mushy? Do the hard ones soak up enough liquid to make the dessert soft or would it still have some stiffness to it?

| Do Lady Fingers have a cream filling? If I can't find them anywhere, do you think I could use Zingers or Twinkies without spoiling the recipe?

| You can use hard or soft. Personal preference on how mushyyou want it and how long it will sit... My assumption is most grocery stores with an Ethnic food section would have them. I would not replace them...

| Some people use sponge, pound or angel food cake as many stores no longer sell them. Any longish vanilla cookie or 2 cookies end-to-end might do as well if you want the firmer substance.

| The hard ones will soak up enough liquid (whether you use espresso or regular coffee, kahlua, etc) and become soft. Now I can't wait to have some tiramisu!! |
