Yields 4 glasses or 1, 8-inch baking dish
Add coffee granules and sugar to water and place it over high heat till the mixture simmers. Turn the heat to low and let it reduce down a little about 2-3 minutes. Take it off the stove and keep it aside to cool completely.
If using small servings, cut the ladyfingers in half.
Add a spoon of cream in the bottom of the serving cup. Take a ladyfingers, dip it in coffee and immediately place it in the serving cup, creating one layer. Spoon some more cream on top. Add one more layer of coffee soaked ladyfingers. Add the cream.
Place a plastic wrap touching the top of the cream. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Putting a plastic wrap touching the top of the cream will avoid water from condensation.
Sugar: I used fine granulated sugar. Confectioners sugar/Icing sugar is easier to mix. If you are using confectioners sugar, you might have to add a little more.
Lady fingers substitute-(For eggless version and otherwise): You can add a layer of white cake. Place a thin layer of cake, then drizzle with coffee and then repeat the process. (Alternately you can also cut the white cake or sponge cake into strips and bake for 10 minutes until crisp)
Depending on the size of the glass or baking dish, you might need more ladyfingers.
