Lemon Tiramisu - DeLallo

Step 1

To create a simple lemon syrup, bring 1 cup of sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan. Simmer and stir until the sugar is dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the Limoncello and the zest from 1 lemon. Allow to cool.

Step 2

Using a stand mixer or a hand-held mixer, beat together the cream cheese and remaining 1 cup of sugar in a large mixing bowl. Once creamy, about 3-4 minutes, add the mascarpone and beat until creamy once more.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Add the vanilla, lemon oil and zest from 1 lemon into the cream mixture. Place in the refrigerator to chill.

Step 4

Place the lemon simple syrup into a small shallow bowl. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the syrup, wetting both sides of the cookie, but not soaking. Arrange ladyfingers along the base of a shallow 8” x 8” glass dish. Spread 1/3 of mascarpone mixture evenly on top. Next, add another 2 more layers of ladyfingers. Topping with mascarpone mixture after each layer.

Step 5

Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours then sprinkle with crushed biscottini and remaining lemon zest before serving.
