About Lady finger sponge

Ladyfinger sponge, also known as savoiardi, is a light and airy, low-density cake-like biscuit originating from Italy. Made primarily with eggs, sugar, and flour, these elongated cookies have a mildly sweet flavor and a delicate texture. Traditionally used in desserts like tiramisu and trifles, they absorb liquid well, making them ideal for layered recipes. While delicious, they are relatively high in refined carbohydrates and sugars, offering minimal fiber or protein. On the positive side, they are free from fats like butter or oils that are common in heavier pastries. Ladyfinger sponges can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, but those seeking healthier alternatives may opt for versions made with whole-grain flours or reduced sugar recipes. Perfect for pairing with fruits, coffee, or custards, they remain a versatile staple in classic European desserts.
