A charlotte russe is a dessert that requires several steps. It requires a charlotte mold. You would first need to make ladyfingers to line the mold then you would need to make a bavarian cream to fill the mold allow it to chill then you can unmold it trim the ladyfingers to make it uniform and then you serve it. It would probably blow the people's minds who you made it for because homemade ladyfingers and bavarian cream are pretty much heaven. If you really liked it you could probably do variations with different flavors of bavarian cream, you might as well get as much mileage as you can out of the charlotte mold!!
