Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240ml) Water
  • 1/2 cup (100g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Limoncello
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) Lemon Juice
  • 16 ounces (450g) Mascarpone Cheese, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) Heavy Cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Limoncello
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 (12 ounce/340g) package Ladyfingers (Savoiardi biscuits)
  • 2 ounces (60g) White Chocolate, grated

Instructions:

  1. Combine water and sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in Limoncello and lemon juice. Let cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese. Stir in Limoncello, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  3. Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the chilled limoncello syrup (do not soak!). Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of the baking dish. Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. Repeat layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone filling.
  4. Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Before serving, sprinkle with grated white chocolate.
