Ingredients
Scale
Mascarpone Mixture
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup lemon curd
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Assembly
- 20 ladyfingers
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (for soaking)
- 1/4 cup water (for soaking)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for soaking syrup)
Instructions
- Prepare Lemon Mascarpone Mixture: In a bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and lemon curd, stirring until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone and lemon curd mixture until fully combined and creamy.
- Make Soaking Syrup: In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, water, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. This will be used to soak the ladyfingers, infusing them with a bright citrus flavor.
- Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the lemon syrup, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of your serving dish or individual glasses.
- Layer the Dessert: Spread half of the lemon mascarpone mixture over the first layer of ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Chill: Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
- Serve: Garnish with lemon zest or a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon curd for the best flavor, or homemade if possible.
- Ensure ladyfingers are soaked quickly to prevent sogginess.
- This dessert improves in flavor if refrigerated overnight.
- For added texture, garnish with toasted lemon zest or a few fresh berries.
