Description
A delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining zesty lemon flavors with creamy mascarpone cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 2 tbsp lemon zest
- 1/3 cup lemon juice (78 ml)
- 1/2 cup Limoncello liqueur (120 ml)
- 2 cups Mascarpone cheese (452 grams)
- 3 tbsp lemon juice (45 ml)
- 1/4 cup Limoncello liqueur
- 1/2 cup lemon curd
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (354 ml)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar (41 grams)
- 26 ladyfinger cookies
- 1 cup lemon curd
Instructions
- Make the Limoncello Syrup: In a small pan, mix the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well and bring to a boil. Once boiling and the sugar dissolves, turn off the heat and add the Limoncello liqueur. Let it cool.
- Prepare the Limoncello Mascarpone: In a mixing bowl, beat the Mascarpone cheese with lemon zest, lemon juice, and Limoncello until creamy. Add the lemon curd and mix until combined. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fluffy.
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dunk ladyfingers in the cooled Limoncello syrup and place them at the bottom of an 11×8-inch pan. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then add 1/2 cup of lemon curd on top. Repeat this layer with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone. Optionally, pipe leftover mascarpone or whipped cream around the edges and top with more lemon curd.
- Chill: Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 240 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor and ensure the Limoncello syrup has cooled completely before dipping the ladyfingers.
