Should ladyfingers be hard or soft?

Hey everyone! 🌟 Quick question—are ladyfingers supposed to be hard or soft? I’ve seen recipes that mention both, and I’m a little confused. What’s the ideal texture for them? Would love to know what you think! Thanks for your help! 😊🍰
 
Great question! Ladyfingers should ideally be light and slightly crispy on the outside, while soft and airy on the inside. This texture helps them soak up flavors when used in desserts like tiramisu. If they’re too hard, they can end up being tough to bite into, and if they're too soft, they might fall apart. So, a nice balance is key for the best results! 😊🍰✨
 
Ladyfingers are usually hard when fresh since that crunchy texture helps them soak up liquids perfectly in recipes like tiramisu, but if they’re meant to be eaten on their own, a softer texture works great too!
