Here is the question / scenario.
goodgirl decided to surprise me by making one from scratch.
The recipe calls for lady fingers, but since time was a factor she decided to use store bought.
When it came to the adding of the alcohol (had to use dark rum as NWI doesn't seem to have much in the way of selections) the lady fingers sucked up the rum as fast as she could pour it in.
As a result, a few cups of rum were used. This resulted in a very juicy tiramisu. If you like dark rum it was great although you would never pass a field sobriety test after having a slice.
The question is this, can you make the lady fingers and add the rum in that recipe thus providing the necessary flavoring to the end result?Comment

I think you're actually supposed to "dip" them in the liquid? Not pour it over the lady fingers.
So like making french toast.. you mix up the liquid in a bowl and then one at a time you put them in, flip them over and then put them in the dish you're assembling them in.

the lady fingers draw out moisture from the "pudding" as well as the rum.. so lay them in the dish and brush the top side with rum, then let the whole thing sit (preferebly overnight) and when you serve it, the cookies will have had time to soften up.
so just brish them with rum and let the pudding do the rest.
like an ice cream sandwich.. the cookie goes on hard, but softens as it draws out moisture from the ice cream.

Like said dip the lady fingers in the rum or brush the rum on them. Making rum flavored lady fingers could be done but it would not have the same effect on the finished tiramisu. They would likely be less moist and more cakey.

no you cannot put the rum in the lady fingers, you have to have the "moistness" of the rum in the mix to provide a proper tiramisu...
i think you just added a bit much ;) i think the quoted tecuhnique would be a perfect approachComment

all of you are wrong... traditional tiramisu is made from lady finger soaked in espresso.. and with a sweetened marscapone cheese...
americans decided to mix espresso with licquor...
so, BD try watering the rum down with some nice espresso...
the ladyfingers are supposed to be soaked, not crunchy..Comment
-
i know the proper way is espresso, i made mine with that back when, i was just sticking to the recipe at hand ;)
i should have mentioned that in the "proper technique" above...
right, not crunchy at all, i dont see how it could be crunchy unless someone burnt it... a good tiramisu is quite moist(but not mushy) on the bottom and more stable as it goes up...Comment

She did "dip." She says it just soaked it right up.I think you're actually supposed to "dip" them in the liquid? Not pour it over the lady fingers.

So it shouldn't squirt when you cut into it? (yes, it squirted)
Buca di Beppo in So Cal has great tiramisu (the one in Chicago sucks)Comment

You are flavoring the lady fingers, you aren't trying to make them soup. So a little dab will do ya so to speak. Generally the rub is added to the ladyfingers after baking, not during the making of the lady fingers. I guess you could try making it with the rum, but keep in mind the recipe would have to be adjusted to account for the extra liquid of the rum and also keep in mind that the alcohol in the rum will evaporate during baking so the end result is one is alcoholic so to speak and your proposed version is not.Comment

If that is what he was saying I apologize.wyld...
see what you get for trying to help a pragmatic?
I knew you were talking about baking the ladyfingers and whether to add rum to the ladyfingers before or after you bake them (if you make them from scratch), but then again, I'm not a pragmatic asshole.
