  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Lemon slices (for garnish)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ladyfingers

Start by dipping the ladyfinger biscuits in the limoncello. Make sure to do a quick dunk, ensuring they are coated but not soaked, to maintain their structure.

Step 2: Create the Base Layer

Lay half of the dipped ladyfingers in a layer on your serving dish. Sprinkle a generous amount of lemon zest over the top for added flavor.

In a bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 4: Assemble the Tiramisu

Spread half of the cream mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Add another layer using the remaining ladyfingers followed by the remaining cream mixture, spreading it evenly.

Step 5: Garnish

Top the assembled tiramisu with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves for an appealing presentation.

Step 6: Chilling

Cover the dish and chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. For the best results, let it chill overnight to enhance the flavors.

Step 7: Serve

After chilling, slice the tiramisu into servings and enjoy the refreshing lemony flavors with your guests.
