🍋 Lemon Tiramisu

• 📅 Perfect for: Mother's Day

• 🕒 Prep Time: 20 minutes

• 🕒 Chill Time: 2–24 hours

• 📍 Ideal for: Showcasing local citrus

• 🎟️ Serves: 8–10 servings

• 📄 Details: This no-bake dessert is a refreshing twist on the classic tiramisu, featuring layers of lemon-infused mascarpone cream and ladyfingers soaked in a zesty lemon syrup. It's light, tangy, and perfect for celebrating Mother's Day with a touch of elegance.

🛒 Ingredients:

• For the lemon syrup:

  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)

  • ½ cup water

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

• For the mascarpone cream:

  • 16 oz mascarpone cheese

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Zest of 2 lemons

• Additional:

  • 1 package (7 oz) ladyfinger cookies

  • Fresh berries and lemon zest for garnish (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the lemon syrup: In a saucepan, combine lemon juice, water, and granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

2. Make the mascarpone cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and well combined.

3. Assemble the tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled lemon syrup, ensuring they are moist but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone cream.

4. Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

5. Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh berries and a sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired.

This Lemon Tiramisu offers a delightful balance of sweetness and citrusy brightness, making it an ideal dessert to honor the special mothers in our lives. It's easy to prepare ahead of time, allowing you to focus on celebrating the day.
