Limoncello Tiramisu is a refreshing no-bake dessert featuring layers of lemon-soaked ladyfingers and velvety mascarpone cream. Bright citrus flavors and a light texture make it an elegant choice for spring and summer occasions.

Ingredients

  • 24 ladyfinger biscuits
  • 1/2 cup limoncello liqueur
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest, divided
  • 16 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh lemon slices or additional zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the limoncello, lemon juice, water, and granulated sugar to create the soaking mixture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until fully combined.
  5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the lemon soaking mixture without oversaturating.
  6. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.
  7. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  8. Sprinkle with half of the lemon zest.
  9. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  10. Smooth the top and sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  12. Garnish with fresh lemon slices or additional zest before serving.

Notes

  • Add fresh blueberries or raspberries between layers for a fruity variation.
  • Spread lemon curd between layers for a more intense citrus flavor.
  • Replace some of the limoncello with orange liqueur for a citrus blend.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for up to 1 month, though the texture may soften slightly after thawing.
  • For an alcohol-free version, replace the limoncello with lemonade or lemon syrup.
