charlotte russe
Ladyfinger cream dome
A charlotte russe is a cold dessert of Bavarian cream set inside a mold lined with ladyfingers or sponge cake.
The classic version is unmolded before serving, revealing the ring of cookies around custard-like filling.
In early 20th-century New York, a charlotte russe was a simpler treat—whipped cream piped onto a sponge cake disk in a cardboard cup, sold by pushcart vendors.
