Tips

A substitution that could be made in this recipe is using gluten-free ladyfingers or a gluten-free cake as a replacement for the traditional ladyfingers. This would make the dessert suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or dietary restrictions. Additionally, for a vegan version, coconut cream or cashew cream could be used instead of mascarpone, and a plant-based milk could replace the espresso. These substitutions allow for the enjoyment of this unique dessert while catering to different dietary needs.
