- Electric mixer
Servings: 12
Calories: 452kcal
Ingredients
- 17 oz/ 500 g mascarpone cheese
- ⅞ cup/ 200 ml whipping cream, cold
- ½ cup / 60 g powdered sugar
- 10,5 oz/ 300 g ladyfingers, (savoiardi) or 3 sheets
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1,5 batches Lemon Curd, see notes
- 1 lemon, only juice
- 1 ¼ cup/ 300 ml cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer beat the mascarpone with the vanilla extract, shortly at a low speed, until smooth.
- In a separate bowl whip the cream with the powdered sugar until fluffy but not too thick.
- Combine the two mixtures using a rubber spatula.
- Prepare the lemonade for soaking the ladyfingers: mix the lemon juice and the honey in a cup and then add the water. Mix until the honey is dissolved. Pour the lemonade into wide bowl.
- Dip one of the ladyfingers into the lemonade just for a second or so. Place it on the bottom of a 18 x 9 in/ 33 x 23 cm tin or similar size. Continue with the rest of the ladyfingers until covering the bottom of the tin.
- Spread half of the mascarpone filling on top and smooth it out.
- Spread evenly half of the lemon curd.
- Continue with one more layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by another layer of mascarpone and lemon curd on top.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap. Let the tiramisu stay in the fridge for 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving decorate it with whipped cream (optional).
Notes
- Store this dessert covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months.
- Make the Lemon curd with 3 eggs, 3 lemons, 1 cup sugar and ¼ cup butter.
- To make this lemon tiramisu more like the Italian dessert, you can soak the ladyfingers in coffee, orzo drink (my favorite so far) or in hot cocoa. Or add a few tablespoon limoncello or vodka to the lemonade for a nice touch.
- Don’t soak too much the ladyfingers to avoid making them soggy. But if you need more lemonade/ coffee for soaking, don’t hesitate to prepare more.
