Helpful Tips

If you’re a beginner, consider tapping down the ladyfingers gently before baking for even layers. For added zest, you can sprinkle grated dark chocolate on each layer. Make sure your coffee is completely cooled before dipping the ladyfingers to maintain their texture.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions and thaw in the fridge before serving.
