Description
Limoncello Tiramisu is a bright and refreshing no-bake dessert combining creamy mascarpone, lemon curd, and ladyfingers soaked in limoncello.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large whole eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 100 g granulated sugar (for curd)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 70 g unsalted butter (room temperature, cubed)
- 3 large egg yolks (for mascarpone base)
- 70 g granulated sugar (for mascarpone base)
- 225 g mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
- 350 g whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 225 g limoncello
- 24 ladyfingers
Instructions
- Make the lemon curd by whisking whole eggs, yolks, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until thick. Stir in butter and cool.
- In a bowl over a simmering pot, whisk yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy. Remove from heat and fold in mascarpone.
- Whip the cream with vanilla extract until firm peaks form. Gently fold into mascarpone mixture.
- Dip ladyfingers briefly in limoncello and layer in a 9×9 pan. Spread half of the cream, repeat with more soaked ladyfingers, then top with remaining cream.
- Pipe or spread the cooled lemon curd over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Notes
- Do not over-soak the ladyfingers in limoncello to prevent sogginess.
- Let tiramisu chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
- Use high-quality limoncello and fresh lemons for best taste.
- Garnish just before serving to keep the dessert looking fresh.
