FAQ

  • Can I use regular coffee instead of instant?

    Yes, you can use strongly brewed regular coffee that has been cooled. Ensure it is not too hot or it will make the ladyfingers too soggy.
  • Can I add a liquor flavoring?

    Absolutely! A teaspoon of Amaretto, coffee liqueur, or rum can be added to the coffee mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Can I make it vegan?

    It would require substitution of the mascarpone and heavy cream with vegan alternatives. Vegan ladyfingers are also needed.
