- ✓Chill your tiramisu for exactly 4-6 hours minimum because the ladyfingers need this time to absorb moisture and soften to the perfect al dente texture without becoming mushy.timing4-6 hours minimum
- ✓Use savoiardi ladyfingers with 12-15% moisture content rather than soft cookies because their dense, dry structure absorbs coffee without completely dissolving and maintains structural integrity.ingredient12-15% moisture content
