A refreshing and creamy twist on the classic Italian dessert, this Lemon Tiramisu is light, delicious, and easy to prepare without any baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 package (200–250g) ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi)
  • Extra lemon zest or candied lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Lemon Syrup: Combine the lemon juice, water, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  2. Whip the Mascarpone Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone and lemon zest until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  3. Layer the Tiramisu: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled lemon syrup and layer them in the bottom of your dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream on top.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, garnish with fresh lemon zest or candied lemon slices.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and allow enough time for chilling for the perfect set.
