This is an old recipe from my mother in law....very simple and elegant looking...her size of dish is vague but what I always used was a 11 X 7 pyrex dish and it worked out well.. She also used sliced pound cake if she could not find lady fingers.

Tips:

  • Prepare the ladyfingers in advance: You can make the ladyfingers a day ahead of time and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. This will save you time on the day you're making the dessert.
  • Use fresh fruit: The fresher the fruit, the better the dessert will taste. If you can, use organic fruit for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the ladyfingers: The ladyfingers should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the dessert chill before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
  • Garnish with fresh mint or berries: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dessert.
