Ingredients
Scale
- 300ml water
- 65g sugar
- 240ml limoncello
- 45ml lemon juice
- 48 ladyfinger biscuits (approximately two 200g packs)
- 680g chilled mascarpone cheese
- 425g lemon curd
- 80ml limoncello
- 60ml lemon juice
- 480ml heavy cream
- 65g sugar
- 240ml heavy cream (for topping)
- 30–45g powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare the Limoncello Syrup: In a saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, stir in limoncello and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Make the Tiramisu Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine chilled mascarpone cheese, lemon curd, limoncello, lemon juice, and sugar. Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the limoncello syrup, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a rectangular dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Optional Topping: Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the tiramisu and sprinkle with lemon zest.
- Serve: Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the zesty and creamy layers of this delightful Limoncello Tiramisu!
Notes
- For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the amount of lemon juice in the mascarpone mixture.
- Make sure not to soak the ladyfingers for too long to maintain their texture.
- This dessert can be made a day in advance for better flavor development.
