Lemon Tiramisu 🍋
This fresh dessert delights with a pleasant balance: a sweet, airy texture meets a bright citrus filling and delicate ladyfingers.
Ingredients for a 22 × 26 cm dish:
🍋 100 ml lemon juice
🤍 150 g sugar
🥄 30 g cornstarch
🍋 zest of 1/2 lemon
💧 50 ml water
🥚 3 eggs
🧈 50 g butter
🍪 200 g ladyfingers (savoiardi)
🥛 400 ml milk or lemon nectar (juice)
🧀 250 g mascarpone
🥛 300 ml heavy cream (33%)
❄️ 100 g powdered sugar
Instructions:
1️⃣ In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest, then add the lemon juice, water, and eggs.
2️⃣ Whisk everything together, place over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. As soon as the lemon mixture thickens, remove from the heat and strain it through a sieve. Add the butter, mix well, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it cool completely.
3️⃣ For the cream, combine the very cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar and whip to stiff peaks. Next, add the mascarpone and whip for 1 more minute.
4️⃣ Dip the ladyfingers into the milk or lemon juice (just for a few seconds) and arrange them in the dish. Top with the mascarpone cream and the lemon mixture, then repeat with another layer.
5️⃣ Pipe little drops of cream on top, decorate (if desired), and you're done!
Enjoy! 💛
