09 -
200 g of lemon curd
10 -
300 g of Savoiardi (ladyfinger cookies)
# Instructions:
01 -
Stir sugar, lemon juice, and zest together until dissolved completely. After that, mix in the Limoncello.
02 -
Soften the mascarpone by stirring until smooth. Separately whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until it thickens into stiff peaks. Gently fold the mascarpone, lemon zest, and Limoncello into the whipped mixture.
03 -
Briefly dip the ladyfingers in the syrup and line the dish bottom. Spread mascarpone mix evenly over them, followed by a lemon curd layer. Keep layering until it’s all used up, finishing with mascarpone.

Cover the dish and pop it into the fridge for six hours or more to set and build flavor.
05 -
If you want, sprinkle a little lemon zest on top before slicing and serving it chilled.
# Notes:
01 -
Let the mascarpone warm up a bit before mixing; cold mascarpone won't combine smoothly.
02 -
Dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid them soaking too much and turning mushy.
