Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 300 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 150 ml Limoncello
- 2 lemons Lemon zest
- 300 grams Ladyfinger biscuits
- 100 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 200 ml Water
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and half of the limoncello (75 ml) until smooth and creamy.
In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the remaining limoncello (75 ml), fresh lemon juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. This will serve as the soaking liquid for the ladyfinger biscuits.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the soaking liquid, making sure not to oversaturate them. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish (approximately 9x9 inch).
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the soaked ladyfingers.
Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone cream, followed by spreading the remaining mascarpone cream evenly over the second layer.
Sprinkle the top layer generously with lemon zest for a bright and aromatic finish.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Slice into portions and enjoy!
