Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

What is the recipe?
Prepare the limoncello syrup by combining water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once you remove it from the heat and let it cool, stir in the limoncello liqueur!
Make the mascarpone filling by whisking together the egg yolks and sugar. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk until the mixture is slightly thickened. Once removed from the heat, whisk the mixture in the limoncello liqueur.
Beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth, adding the egg yolk mixture gradually until combined. Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl. Combine this with the mascarpone mixture.
Create the tiramisu by dipping each ladyfinger into the limoncello syrup. Arrange a layer of the ladyfingers in a dish of your preference, then spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. Repeat this process once more.
Cover and refrigerate for at least a few hours (overnight is ideal) to allow the tiramisu to set.
Sprinkle with lemon zest and garnish with mint leaves!
Serve, and enjoy.
Feel free to add other toppings, such as white chocolate chip shavings or something with a bit more texture. Customize your dessert until it truly feels like your own!
We hope you enjoy this refreshing treat! With this version of the classic dessert, you are sure to enjoy tiramisu all summer long.
