Ingredients
Lemon Curd*:
▢
4 large egg yolks

2/3 cup granulated sugar (134g)

1 Tablespoon lemon zest (6g), about 1 lemon

1/3 cup lemon juice (80mL), fresh squeezed (or you could use limoncello)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)

1/4 cup limoncello (60mL), (optional*)
Whipped Mascarpone:

8 oz mascarpone cheese (226g), room temperature
▢
1 Tablespoon lemon zest (6g)

Assembly:

Notes
Lemon Curd: could substitute 1 ¼ cups store-bought lemon curd instead of homemade. You may want to warm it slightly, so it’s soft enough to spread easily.
Lady Fingers: Savoiardi brand is my preferred and can be found in the cookie aisle at the grocery store, or online.
Make Ahead Instructions: Tiramisu is meant to be made in advance so the flavors can blend more. Keep it covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Limoncello Liqueur: I’d only use it if you like the flavor addition and will drink the rest of the bottle/use it for something else. Otherwise this dessert tastes amazing without it, too!
