Ingredients
No main ingredients listed.
Lemon Curd
- 2 lemon
- 3 egg
- 3 1/5 oz butter
- 7 1/10 oz sugar
Mascarpone Cream
- 11 oz mascarpone
- 1 3/10 cup fresh cream
- 2 4/5 oz sugar
Savoiardi Layer
- 14 oz savoiardi
- 1 3/10 cup milk
- 0.85 cup limoncello
Instructions
- 1Prepare the Lemon Curd: whisk eggs and 200 g sugar until pale and thick, add softened butter, then incorporate lemon zest and juice.
- 2Cook the curd over a double boiler, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 8–10 min). Cool to room temperature and refrigerate.
- 3While the curd cools, make the Mascarpone Cream: beat mascarpone smooth, whip chilled cream to soft peaks, then fold together with the remaining 80 g sugar until airy.
- 4Prepare the soaking liquid by mixing milk and limoncello in a shallow dish.
- 5Briefly dip each savoiardi biscuit in the milk‑limoncello mixture; arrange a single layer of soaked biscuits in the bottom of a 9‑inch (23 cm) square dish.
- 6Spread a thin, even layer of the chilled lemon curd over the biscuit layer.
- 7Add a layer of the mascarpone cream, smoothing it with a spatula.
- 8Repeat the biscuit, lemon curd, and mascarpone cream layers, finishing with a top layer of lemon curd.
- 9Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
- 10Before serving, optionally garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and thin lemon zest strips.
