Time 2h

Yield 32 ladyfingers

Number Of Ingredients 10

Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
4 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon coconut oil
About 1/4 cup unsweetened grated coconut

Steps:

  • For the ladyfingers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a bowl.
  • Put the egg whites in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until frothy. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and beat until stiff, shiny peaks form, about 6 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the yolks and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar until pale and thick. Beat in the vanilla. Gently fold the yolks into the egg whites; it's okay if some streaks remain. Add the flour mixture and fold gently, but thoroughly, until well mixed.
  • Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a 3/4-inch plain tip. Pipe 3-inch-long, 1-inch-wide ladyfingers about 1/2 inch apart. Dust the tops of the cookies lightly with confectioners' sugar. Bake until springy to the touch, 16 to 18 minutes. Cool completely.
  • For the decoration: Combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Dip one end of each ladyfinger in the chocolate, then sprinkle with the coconut over parchment paper. Place on a serving platter.
  • Refrigerate until set. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve, up to 4 hours (ladyfingers dry out quickly).

I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate, but I really enjoyed these ladyfingers. The chocolate flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

I've tried many recipes for dark chocolate ladyfingers, but this one is by far the best. The ladyfingers are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The chocolate flavor is rich and decadent.
