Advice

You can replace the ladyfingers with the dry biscuits you prefer, even gluten-free ones for a version suitable for everyone. If you like, you can enrich the filling with chopped dried fruit or the fresh fruit you like best.

If you prefer, you can prepare a tiramisu with ricotta cheese and yogurt simply by replacing the fresh cream with Greek yogurt: the result will be equally delicious.
