Transport yourself to Italy with a decadent limoncello tiramisù that will leave you craving more.
Ingredients:
  • 400 g caster sugar
  • 3 unwaxed lemons
  • 4 large free-range eggs
  • 500 g mascarpone cheese
  • 4 tablespoons limoncello plus extra for drizzling
  • 200 g sponge fingers
  • 4 sprigs of fresh mint
Instructions:
  • In a small pan, combine 250g of sugar with 250ml of water and heat over medium-high. Use a speed-peeler to zest 2 lemons into strips, finely slice into matchsticks, then add to the pan along with the juice. Simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes until a light syrup forms. Let it cool and carefully transfer the lemon peel to a plate. Separate eggs, putting yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Whisk yolks with 150g of sugar until pale and fluffy, then mix in mascarpone, lemon zest, and limoncello until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, then fold into the yolk mixture. Spread one-third of the cream in an 18cm x 24cm dish. Dip sponge fingers in lemon syrup and layer half in the dish. Drizzle with limoncello and repeat, finishing with cream on top. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, top with candied lemon peel and mint leaves.
