When you make homemade ladyfingers, you also get a chance to get creative! Why not try making man-toes or little babyfingers? For a Bachelorette party, you could try making and then eating some other body parts. ;) Or, if like me, you're thinking cupcakes, you can make your ladyfingers in cupcake tins so that they are all ready to be used in tiramisu cupcakes.

It's important to know that ladyfingers come in two varieties - the crunchy kind and the soft, sponge cake-like kind. The ladyfinger recipe that I am sharing here is for the soft kind. This is the kind that works best in tiramisu because it can better absorb all of the coffee/rum syrup.
I wouldn't recommend eating these ladyfingers on their own. Their flavor comes from whatever you soak them in. If you don't want to make tiramisu with them (I'm not sure why you wouldn't), you could also dunk the ladyfingers in chocolate milk or whipped cream or chocolate fondue. Feel free to share other ideas in the comments.
