When we think of Tiramisu, we envision layers of creamy Mascarpone, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and a dusting of cocoa. But what if you infused this classic with a zesty citrus charm? Enter Limoncello Tiramisu – where the zest of lemon harmoniously dances with traditional Italian flavors.
Unfurling layers of spongy ladyfingers, slightly drenched in a Limoncello-spiked espresso, cocooned within the velvety embrace of Mascarpone cream. The zest of lemon, like a playful sprinkle, is the perfect finish. An ode to Italian traditions with a refreshing twist.
Ingredients:
250g Mascarpone cheese
250ml heavy cream
3 egg yolks
100g sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
250ml strong brewed espresso, cooled
3 tbsp Limoncello liqueur
24 ladyfingers
Lemon zest, for garnish
Fresh berries (like strawberries or raspberries), optional garnish
Instructions:
Creamy Beginnings: Start by whisking the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. The key is to achieve a pale and creamy consistency.
Mascarpone Magic: Stir in the luscious Mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, melding them into the yolk-sugar blend. Aim for a velvety texture.
Whipped Wonder: In a separate haven, whip the heavy cream until it staunchly holds its peaks.
