Ladyfingers (called Savoiardi in Italian, meaning "from Savoy"), or in French 'Biscuits à la cuillère,' are a principal ingredient in many French dessert recipes. These cookies are light, crispy and sweet sponge cakes roughly shaped like a large finger. They should not be confused with the Lady's Finger, another name for the vegetable okra.

Today, their most common usage is in trifles, charlottes, and tiramisu. They are typically soaked in a sugar syrup or liqueur, such as coffee for the tiramisu dessert. In the UK they may also be called sponge-fingers, trifle sponges or boudoir biscuits.
