Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 75 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Lime zest
- 60 ml Fresh lime juice
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 120 grams Granulated sugar
- 85 grams Unsalted butter
- 500 grams Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 50 grams Caster sugar
- 200 grams Ladyfinger cookies
- 60 ml Limoncello (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the lime curd: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) and cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the unsalted butter one piece at a time until fully incorporated.
Strain the lime curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until cool.
Prepare the berry syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 250 grams of mixed berries, caster sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Strain the berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Stir in limoncello (optional), and let the syrup cool completely.
Prepare the mascarpone cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer until smooth and thickened.
Assemble the tiramisu: Dip each ladyfinger cookie quickly into the cooled berry syrup and place them in a single layer at the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish or individual serving glasses.
Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the soaked ladyfingers, followed by a thin layer of lime curd.
Scatter a portion of the remaining fresh mixed berries over the curd.
Repeat the layers (ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, lime curd, and berries) until the dish is filled, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream and fresh berries on top.
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Serve chilled and garnish with additional lime zest if desired.
