Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (120ml)
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (120g)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons limoncello
- 6 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
- Zest of 1 lemon (for garnish)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Add mascarpone, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon limoncello. Beat until just combined and smooth.
- Prepare the Soaking Liquid: Mix remaining 2 tablespoons limoncello with 1/4 cup water in a shallow dish for dipping ladyfingers.
- Assemble the Layers: Break ladyfingers in half and briefly dip in the limoncello mixture. Place two halves at the bottom of each dessert cup. Add a layer of mascarpone cream and a spoonful of lemon curd. Repeat layers and finish with cream and a swirl of curd on top.
- Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours (overnight for best texture). Garnish with lemon zest before serving.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients for better whipping and smooth texture.
- Don’t oversoak the ladyfingers; a quick dip gives the right texture.
- Chill thoroughly to allow layers to set and flavors to blend.
- For an alcohol-free version, replace limoncello with lemon syrup or sweetened lemon juice.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated in airtight containers up to 3 days. Not suitable for freezing.
