Learn to make gluten-free ladyfingers, a versatile Italian treat perfect for various desserts.

Gluten-Free Ladyfingers

Savoiardi senza glutine are made with a blend of rice flour, potato starch, and corn starch, offering a simple home-baked alternative that you can enjoy in many ways! Excellent with a cup of tea, these gluten-free ladyfingers are also perfect for creating classic desserts like tiramisù, charlotte, or delightful gluten-free truffles.

Similar to the original version, gluten-free ladyfingers have a light, slightly spongy texture due to the whipped egg whites. In this recipe, we add a pinch of baking powder and xanthan gum to stabilize the batter and make it fluffier.
