Assemble

  • Dip ladyfingers: Briefly dip a ladyfinger into the espresso soak for only about 1 second on each side. Do NOT let the ladyfingers sit in the soak for too long otherwise it will quickly turn into mush. Let some of the excess drip off before placing it in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Repeat with half of the ladyfingers until you've arranged a whole layer on the bottom of the dish.

Spread another ¼ of the pudding on top of the banana slices. Repeat with the rest of the ladyfingers, banana slices, and pudding.
