Schar - Lady Fingers - Certified Gluten Free - No GMO's, Lactose, Wheat or Preservatives - (7.1 oz) 2 Pack

My husband is allergic to gluten and has to eat gluten free, which rules out about everything that’s good. Until we found these, life around the ponderosa here was bland and dull. Enter these gf free Lady Fingers and our dessert options have tripled! IVe used them to make all sorts of tiramisus or process them in the food processor and bingo- the best graham pie crust substitute you could ever want! They taste light, soak up the liquor well, yet provide a close flavor and texture to the real deal. On occasion, they arrive pretty crunched up, but most of the time they are in good shape, and if I do find a couple that are broken up, I use them as a crunchy garnish to whatever dessert I’m making. These are truly GF free, a little pricey, but if you’re looking to pull off an impressive gf tiramisu or cheese cake, they’re a must have if you don’t want to go to the trouble of baking your own.

Our adult daughter and I must avoid gluten, and this Schar product permits us to still enjoy the tiramisu recipe that I created (low cal, NO eggs, but amazingly yummy). I find that a quick dip (both sides) of the delicate biscuit is all that's needed to infuse the Amaretto-espresso coffee liquid. Too long a dip and they pretty much disintegrate. They are also the perfect length/width to fit into the rectangular glass dish, no "cutting" necessary. The ladyfingers are not that sweet, so that helps with the calorie count also! Used to be able to buy them in two of my local stores, but they have not carried them in over 2 yrs. Many sellers list these for much more, so I quickly ordered when Amazon sent me the alert email on this well priced two pack for about $6.50 per one. Looking forward to making tiramisu for my daughter and I when we have a post pandemic family birthday dinner in August. BTW: I also do make a regular tiramisu for my son-in-law and my husband but they enjoy the GF texture much more😊.Recently, I found these at a large supermarket, selling for less than $6, so the ones selling here on Amazon for $450 (for pkg of 10) is ludricous.

Used these in a tiramisu recipe (also did a standard one with regular ladyfingers). No one could tell the difference (aside from the large sign saying gluten free on the dish). Did try a taste test with a leftover one and a regular one. Aside from the scars being a little more crunchy, no discernible taste difference. Oh these really soaked up the coffee, ended up using a spatula to keep these whole when layering the tiramisu.

I got these because i haven't had tiramisu in over 15 years since i went gluten free. Worked great! Don't remember what it normally tastes like. Only reason for 4 stars is the price and the fact that probably 80%+ were broken. For tiramisu that worked fine. They werent crumbled but broken into 2-3 pieces. The cookies are large enough that it didn't matter. No ones gonna notice in tiramisu. Wish they were a more reasonable price.

They make the best quality gluten free food!!

I am a relatively new Celiac and used to be an avid baker. Needless to say going gluten free has rocked the boat in terms of my old baking rules and regimes. Anyway, tiramisu is one of my all time favorite desserts. I have so missed it! I was hosting a party and made a half dozen different dessert shooters and gave my tiramisu a go with these. I was skeptical, but they worked wonderfully! Out of the package they do not taste great IMHO, but soaked in expresso and allowed to sit for a few hours once made they turned out fabulous! No one was able to tell that the tiramisu was gluten free and it was a top hit all night. For those of you in the GF world, you can appreciate this as a huge advantage. They were pricey but I would totally buy again for tiramisu. I hope this helps you in making a purchasing decision!*I dredged them in expresso (did not let them sit, but dredged until dripping) and then combined/assembled the tiramisu. I dished them and let them sit covered in the fridge overnight. They were soaked but not grainy or mushy. Perfect texture!

The actual lady fingers all came broken and in crumbs. there were very few whole cookies.

These are pretty good for gluten free, though they are a bit more delicate so handle carefully. The first time I ordered, a few were broken but that was workable. The second time, almost half of the first box and a quarter of the 2nd was powder. So it was a big waste. This 2nd purchase was shipped in just plastic wrapping, it should be shipped in a box with cushioning given how delicate it is.
