Limoncello Tiramisu Recipe
Report
Limoncello Tiramisu is a delightful variation on the traditional Italian dessert, tiramisu, which typically features layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a mascarpone cheese mixture.Limoncello Tiramisu replaces the classic coffee element with limoncello, a sweet and tangy Italian lemon liqueur. The dessert retains the creamy texture and rich layers characteristic of classic tiramisu, but the limoncello introduces a bright, citrusy flavor.

Instructions
- First, prepare the mascarpone cream. Separate the yolks from the egg whites and put them in two separate bowls. Then add ⅓ of the sugar to the egg whites and the remaining ⅔ to the yolks. Now whisk the yolks with the sugar until frothy.
- Add the Mascarpone and two tablespoons of Limoncello. Then mix with electric whips at low speed.
- Whip the egg whites until stiff.
- Add the beaten egg whites a little at a time to the egg yolk and mascarpone cream.
- Mix slowly from the bottom up so as not to deflate the limoncello mascarpone cream.
- Grate the lemon zest and add it to the limoncello mascarpone cream. Stir to evenly combine the zest into the cream.
- In a bowl pour the milk and limoncello, then stir. You now have all the preparations ready and can assemble the limoncello tiramisu.
- Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the limoncello-milk mixture on both sides (about 1 second per side). These Italian cookies should not be too soggy.
- Arrange them neatly in the chosen casserole dish. Form a base of whole ladyfingers or cut them to size depending on the shape and size of the container. You can also make tiramisu in convenient single-serving bowls.
- Top the Savoiardi with the limoncello mascarpone cream.
- Make another layer of ladyfingers. Keep going until the container is full. Finish with the limoncello cream on top.
- Let Limoncello Tiramisu cool in the refrigerator covered with food wrap for at least 3 hours before serving.
- You can decorate the limoncello tiramisu with some grated lemon zest or a few thin slices of lemon.
