Don’t Have Ladyfingers for Your Tiramisu? Use Honey Wheat Pizza Dough Instead
Tiramisu is a favorite dish among many crowds and best of all, you can prepare a huge dish of it in advance and then keep serving it up all day long. But what if you don’t have one of the most important ingredients for this Italian dessert – ladyfingers? Relax, and just pull out some honey wheat pizza dough from your freezer instead.
Using this type of package dough is easy, because the honey in it already gives it a sweeter edge than other types of dough. However, you still need to do a couple of things to it before it’s ladyfinger-ready.
Start by slicing up the dough into thin strips, the same length as the ladyfingers you would traditionally use. Then, dip and coat them into some strong quality espresso, just as you would with real ladyfingers. After they’ve been coated you just need to make them a bit sweeter. You can do that by mixing together a small bowl of brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Place freshly-dipped “fingers” into this mixture and then just place in the tiramisu pan. Then just continue making the tiramisu as you would normally.
When using this trick, no one will know the difference, and you’ll have beautiful and delicious ladyfingers fit for any Italian dish.
