A fresh late summer recipe

tiramisu al limoncello

A nice and fresh late summer recipe with a variation on the classic tiramisu with coffee, amaretto and raw egg. Even the most clumsy home cook can tiramisu al limoncello make it easy at home.

Do you already feel like a delicious Italian late summer dessert? This delicious tiramisu is made as follows.

Supplies

  • 150 grams ladyfingers
  • for the cream: 250 grams of mascarpone
  • 100 grams of whipped cream
  • 75 grams of powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons limoncello
  • for the 'bath' of the biscuits: mix limoncello (a little, to taste), a little milk and the juice of one lemon
  • extra for the topping: shreds of white chocolate and the zest of an organic lemon (the one you used the juice from!)

Preparation

Take a nice half-sized bowl. Submerge the biscuits in the bath and place them side by side in the dish until it is completely covered.

Then make the cream. Mix the mascarpone with the icing sugar and the limoncello. Whip the whipping cream and fold it in.

Then put a layer of cream on the wet cookies and put another layer of cookies dipped in the bath on top. Then another layer of cream. Possibly a layer of cookies and a layer of cream and then on top of the topping of white chocolate chips and lemon zest. It is also possible with raspberries as shown in the photo!
