Notes

  • Ladyfingers: If you can’t find ladyfingers, you can totally use sponge cake or pound cake. Just cut them into strips so they can soak up all that yummy coffee goodness.
  • Skip the Coffee: Not a coffee fan? No problem! Swap it out for orange juice or any fruit juice you like. It changes the flavor a bit but still works great.
  • Make Ahead: This is one of those desserts that’s perfect for making a day ahead. It just gets better the longer it sits in the fridge!
