Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (180ml) Limoncello Liqueur
- 1/2 cup (120ml) Water
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp (25g) Granulated Sugar
- 1 lb (450g) Mascarpone Cheese, chilled
- 1.5 cups (360ml) Heavy Whipping Cream, chilled
- 3/4 cup (90g) Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup (125g) Lemon Curd
- 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
- 1 tsp Vanilla Paste
- 7 oz (200g) Ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
- 1/4 cup (30g) White Chocolate Shavings
- 2 sprigs Fresh Mint Leaves
Instructions:
- In a shallow wide bowl, whisk together the limoncello liqueur, water, fresh lemon juice, and granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the chilled mascarpone, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, lemon curd, lemon zest, and vanilla paste on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture is light and airy.
- Quickly dip half of the ladyfingers into the limoncello soak for about 2 seconds per side. Arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish.
- Spread half of the citrus mascarpone filling over the layer of ladyfingers using an offset spatula to create an even surface.
- Repeat the dipping process with the remaining ladyfingers and create a second layer. Top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (or overnight) to allow the ladyfingers to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish with white chocolate shavings and fresh mint leaves.
