Ladyfingers (broken)

Ladyfingers are light, sponge-like finger-shaped biscuits with a dry, slightly crisp exterior, commonly used as a base layer in desserts like tiramisu and trifle. Their porous texture allows them to absorb liquids such as coffee or liqueur without disintegrating, softening into a moist, cake-like layer. They are also eaten on their own as a simple, not-too-sweet biscuit.

Breaking an ingredient into irregular pieces changes how densely it packs compared with the whole form.
