    Preparation summary

    It is very easy to make this desert. The preparation takes just few minutes. You need to mix the dry ingredients and the soft butter with a mixer on low speed, while adding slowly the liquid ingredients. Eventually the mixture will become smooth and creamy. In the fridge it will thicken to the wonderful consistency of fudge.

    Instructions

    • Soak the ladyfingers into the milk and arrange them one close to another in a 15-18 cm spring form pan (6-7 inch). Cut some of the cookies to fit in the pan.
    • In a small saucepan over low heat combine water and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add honey and vanilla. Stir until honey is dissolved too.
    • Sift cocoa and powdered milk into a large mixing bowl. Add the soft butter. Beat with an electric mixer at a very low speed, gradually adding the liquid ingredients. Continue beating until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Add some more water if necessary but don’t make it too thin.
