Instructions
Creating this incredible Lemon Tiramisu is straightforward. Follow these easy steps for a perfect result:
1. Brew Coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee and let it cool completely.
2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture turns pale and thick.
3. Add Mascarpone: Gently fold the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the egg and sugar mixture until smooth.
4. Whip Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
5. Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, ensuring not to deflate it.
6. Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee. Be careful not to soak them too long, as they can become too soft.
7. Layer Ingredients: In a glass dish, arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
8. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
9. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal flavor and texture.
10. Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with lemon zest for an extra touch of elegance.
