Lemon Tiramisu Recipe

This zesty Lemon Tiramisu puts a refreshing twist on the classic Italian dessert, layering creamy mascarpone with lemon-infused ladyfingers for a bright, citrusy treat.

Ingredients:

• 24 ladyfingers

• 1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 8 oz mascarpone cheese (room temperature)

• 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• Zest of 1 lemon (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lemon Syrup:

   • In a small saucepan, combine lemon juice and granulated sugar. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Make the Mascarpone Cream:

   • In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

   • Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth and well combined.

3. Assemble the Tiramisu:

   • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled lemon syrup (do not oversoak, or they’ll become mushy).

   • Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.

   • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.

   • Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone cream.

4. Chill & Serve:

   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

   • Before serving, garnish with freshly grated lemon zest.

Enjoy this light, citrusy take on tiramisu—perfect for summer or anytime you crave a tangy-sweet dessert! 🍋✨
