 Lemon Tiramisu 🍰🍋

🔹 Ingredients:

For the Lemon Mascarpone Filling:

• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• Zest of 2 lemons
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For Assembling:

• 1 package of ladyfinger cookies (about 24)
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
• Lemon zest for garnish
• Cocoa powder for dusting (optional)

🔹 Instructions

1. Preparing the Lemon Mascarpone Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy.

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat; you want a light and airy texture.

Add granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and pure vanilla extract to the mascarpone cheese. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. This creates a luscious and creamy lemon mascarpone filling. Set it aside.

2. Assembling the Lemon Tiramisu

Quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the brewed coffee. You don’t want them to become soggy; a brief dip will do.

Arrange a layer of the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish. You can use a trifle dish, glass bowl, or individual serving glasses.

Spread half of the lemon mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers, creating a creamy layer.

Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top of the lemon mascarpone filling.

Finish by spreading the remaining lemon mascarpone filling over the second layer of ladyfingers.

Cover the dish and refrigerate the Lemon Tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Before serving, garnish with lemon zest for a fresh and vibrant touch. You can also dust the top with cocoa powder if desired.

Slice and enjoy your zesty and luscious Lemon Tiramisu!
