FAQ ❓

What can you use instead of ladyfingers?

You can use boudoir biscuits instead. They are drier, so you will only need 3.5 oz (for 18 portions).
That makes around 18 truffles, depending on the size you make them.
You can make whipped cream using cream with 30% fat (100 ml), mascarpone (9 oz), powdered sugar (1 tablespoon), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) and coffee (1 tablespoon), then mix it with the ladyfingers.
You can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
