  • Step 1
    Place a large bowl in the refrigerator to chill for the whipped cream in a later step. In a small bowl, add the sugar. Zest the lemon into the bowl & massage with your fingers to infuse the sugar.
  • Step 2
    Separate the egg whites from the yolks & add the yolks to a bowl with the lemon-sugar mixture. Whisk until the mixture is light & fluffy.
  • Step 3
    Add the mascarpone & whisk until smooth.
  • Step 4
    Pour in a few tablespoons of limoncello & mix.
  • Step 5
    In a large bowl, add the heavy cream. Whip the cream with an electric whisk until you have thick, soft peaks.
  • Step 6
    Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture & set aside.
  • Step 7
    Juice the lemons & add the juice & remaining limoncello to a shallow bowl.
  • Step 8
    Dunk the biscuits on each side in the limoncello mixture. Arrange a layer in the bottom of a baking dish. You can also prepare your tiramisu in glasses, ramekins or bowls.
  • Step 9
    Pour half of the mascarpone mousse & spread it evenly across the dish. Add half of the lemon curd & swirl it into the mascarpone. Add a second layer of dunked cookies, mascarpone & finish with lemon curd swirls.
  • Step 10
    Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap & place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Step 11
    Serve the tiramisu cold & garnish with lemon zest & lemon slices if desired. Enjoy!
