Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Limoncello liqueur
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- Zest of 2 lemons
- Fresh lemon slices, for garnish (optional)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar together. Place over simmering water and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and reaches about 160°F (70°C). Remove from heat and let cool.
- Fold the mascarpone cheese into the cooled egg yolk mixture until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
- Pour Limoncello into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the Limoncello, making sure not to soak them too long.
- Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Add a layer of lemon zest and repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, dust with powdered sugar, garnish with fresh lemon slices and extra lemon zest if desired.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Limoncello with lemon syrup mixed with a little water; chill ladyfingers before assembling for a firmer texture.
