Ingredients
  

For the Cream Mixture
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Confectioners' Sugar Use granulated sugar if needed, but it may not dissolve as easily.
  • 1 cup Mascarpone Cream cheese can be used in a pinch, but the flavor will change.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest Ensure it's fresh to maximize aroma.
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt Balances sweetness and amplifies flavors.
For the Layers
  • 24 Ladyfingers Crisp varieties are recommended for better soaking and stability.
  • 1 cup Store-Bought Lemonade Homemade lemonade can elevate flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Limoncello Quality store-bought limoncello works well.
  • 1/2 cup Lemon Curd Homemade is superior.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Spatula
  • Shallow dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and use an electric mixer to beat it on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and the cream is light and fluffy. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, combine the mascarpone, lemon zest, and kosher salt. Mix until completely smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream in two additions.
  3. Pour the lemonade into a shallow dish, adding the limoncello. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mixture and lay them in a layer in your serving dish.
  4. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then add half of the lemon curd in dollops. Repeat with remaining ingredients, finishing with mascarpone.
  5. Cover the assembled tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8-12 hours to let flavors meld.
  6. Garnish with additional lemon curd and a sprinkle of lemon zest upon serving.
