Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Tiramisu
- Begin by combining 1 cup of lemon curd with ½ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice in a mixing bowl. If using limoncello, stir in ¼ cup to enhance the flavor. Whisk until smooth and well blended, creating a tangy base.
- Grab a shallow dish and pour in the prepared lemon mixture. Dip each ladyfinger briefly in the mixture, about 1-2 seconds per side. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of your serving dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 16 ounces of mascarpone cheese with ½ cup of powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Layer the Lemon Tiramisu by spooning half of the mascarpone mixture over the first layer of dipped ladyfingers. Spread evenly, then repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to let the flavors meld and develop.
- Once chilled, dust the top with powdered sugar and optionally garnish with mint leaves or lemon zest. Serve chilled.

Notes
For the freshest flavor, make your own lemon curd. Use fresh lemons for zest and juice for the best result.
