Babene Ladyfinger Cookies 150g

Delicate, airy, golden-colored sponge cookies with a crispy crust, made according to a classic Italian recipe. An essential ingredient in the classic dessert Tiramisu.
Savoiardi, also known as “ladyfingers” or “Savoy biscuits,” are incredibly tasty, flat, elongated cookies dusted with sugar crystals on top. These small, delicate sponge biscuits are loved by both children and adults for their light and crispy texture. Savoiardi are a key ingredient in many French and Italian desserts — most notably in the preparation of Tiramisu. They easily absorb liquids and become very soft as a result.
This type of cookie was invented at the court of the Dukes of Savoy in the late 15th century to honor a visit from the King of France and soon gained the status of the “official” biscuit of Savoy.
Thanks to their sugar content, these cookies provide the body with energy and help quickly recover from prolonged physical or mental effort. They are also rich in phosphorus, which supports bone regeneration, as well as calcium, which strengthens bones. In addition, they contain potassium, which benefits the cardiovascular system.
Savoiardi can be served as a standalone dessert or paired with ice cream or yogurt. They also develop a special flavor when soaked in syrup or coffee. Often, these cookies are used as part of more elaborate sweet dishes, such as tiramisu, ice cream cakes, or charlottes.
